...main purpose, however, is to protest against the entire tone of the editorial, which your writer could have corrected by asking a few questions at the HAA. Mr. Bingham and his staff are fully aware of the trouble, which has been brewing for some time and poses a knotty problem, and an informal study (including a poll of former Harvard athletes) was begun last year to seek a solution.
