EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: According to the rules of the athletic committee a man must know how to swim in order that he may row in a class or university boat, where there is practically no danger; but he may go out in a cranky, seventeen-inch shell, and, unmolested, find a watery grave.

Whatever may be said of Mr. Balch in his capacity as steward, he is, so far as we know, a perfectly honorable man, and therefore incapable of wittingly serving to boarders at Memorial meat which was tainted or unfit to eat. If the contrary is true, and can be proved by our contemporary, we will admit ourselves to be mistaken, and commend the article in question as timely and just...
