DEAR SIRS: - In the editorial pages of one of our College publications I find a repetition of the statement that at the recent annual dinner of the Harvard Club of New York City President Eliot was hissed "for his enmity to football."

There are surely more than forty men in Harvard University ready to spend two hours every Sunday afternoon in this work. Will they please all send their names to the chairman of the committee, E. von Mach, 18 Bowdoin street, who will find a Chinaman for every man who applies...
