Also, the closeness of the vote--taken in an atmosphere especially favorable to "wet" votes--shows that opinion in the class is so evenly divided that it should be definitely decided on which side the majority stands.

That purpose is mainly the protection of balls, blankets, etc., during the daily practice in case of wet weather. It is of course desirable to have such a shelter on both sides in case of rain during the games. As a matter of fact, the Harvard shelter is about as unpleasant a structure to sit in under ordinary conditions as could be constructed, though it is natural enough...
