Your interesting editorial of Thursday morning was further indication to me that an exhaustive study of Harvard's athletic program is now particularly timely and important. Your suggestions for economy in athletics are among the topics under consideration by the Student Council's Committee on Athletics, which has begun its preparation of a report for the coming year...
