EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON:-At the Union Athletic Club sports, Wednesday evening, a large number of college men were among the audience. Of course, all that induced them to attend the meeting on such a stormy evening, and in the midst of their semi-annual examinations at that, was the desire of supporting by their presence the men who represented the Harvard Athletic Association. Now, if these men had gone in together and had occupied one part of the hall, there might have been some hearty cheering to encourage their representatives, but as it was, the only applause they could give was clapping, which, at best, is not very inspiring, The rousing "Rah! rah! rah!" seems to be fast getting into disuse among the students, and it seems unfortunate, to say the least. There has been hardly any genuine cheering in the yard this term, and there is danger that it may become a lost art among us. '84.
