EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The want of a suitable field for practice has long been felt by the lacrosse men. The question is: Cannot that need be supplied without injury to any other branch of athletics? Hitherto the lacrosse men have failed to secure any other place than a portion of the field to the southwest of the old society building.
