...published in yesterday's paper a very naive communication from an '89 man on the subject of the abandonment of the Grand Stand project, in which he asserted that there was "a startling amount of indifference to the glorious records of the nine and Mott Haven team displayed in the relinquishment of this project." We have received several letters from graduates and undergraduates in regard to this, - men whose names are extremely high in Harvard's athletic annals, and they are without exception, opposed to the plan.

About a dozen men gathered in Holden Chapel last evening in answer to the call of the committee in charge of the erection of a grand stand. As no interest was taken by the students in the proposed plan, the committee decided to let the matter rest...
