ALMOST simultaneously with the appearance of the Crew hats, and those of the two Nines, the Lacrosse team come out with theirs. This seems to me an infringement of the well-understood feelings of the College towards those men who, by hard work and well-earned victories, have added so much to Harvard's credit. It is proper enough that these men should have what little distinction they can get out of their position, for it is the only reward their fellow-students can be stow upon them.
