The question at issue is one of life or death to the interests of the Harvard Foot Ball Association, and yet such a crisis, the gentlemen in whom this trust has been placed, calmly sit in their rooms and quietly let things take their course, or in other words, they let other men fight their battles for them.

More than this, we trust that they will not attempt to take any position from which they will be compelled to retire. If the Committee will state definitely what they intend to do, and will take a manly stand in the matter, we can assure them of the hearty support of the undergraduate sentiment in the college, and that they are doing their best to solve a very complex problem. If this sentiment meets...
