EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: I wish to discuss in a few words the question of the make-up of the '88 tug-of-war team. The question has been raised, and it is, I think, a fair one, whether a man who pulls on a team which represents his college, and is a regular member of that team, can also pull on his class team.

I. T. athletic...
...absence of any special reason strong enough to supply motive power to keep the club going. Though there are half a hundred reasons for desiring the club, no one of them is sufficiently important to become the one prominent motive for it, and as they all, as it were, pull different ways the reasons neutralize each other and matters remain in statu...
