...regard to the complaint we do not think, but we know that we speak for the college in emphatically denouncing the action of the spectators in the hissing which played a prominent part in some of the sparring bouts. That an excited crowd will blindly follow its sudden impulses, if given a start by one bolder than his fellows we know, but men should control and hide such open bursts of feeling, and must do so it the gentlemanly character of Harvard sports is to be kept up.
