EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: The first Cambridge Harvard-Yale game has peen played, and we may be pretty proud of our nine's hard earned victory. It is most proper that our joy should find expression by means of bon-fires, fireworks, and horns if necessary. Let us hope, however, there will never occur again such an unorganized celebration as was witnessed night before last. A most deservedly popular Glee Club concert was spoiled not only by the howls of the predominating muckers and roughs, [roughs being as I understand it, adult muckers]: but also by the injudicious, although no doubt well intended discharge of firearms, and blowing of cornets and horns by enthusiastic students.

Later in the evening the roughs ran the bon-fire and threatened to rush the students off Jarvis Field. If the reign of the Cambridge roughs has begun, I congratulate myself that this is my last year at college. One recalls with regret the days when the policing of the yard was under the supervision of the class of '85, when although the mucker was not excluded from the yard, rough element was suppressed and kept quiet.

The business of preserving order in the yard has been entrusted to the students, and I am sorry to see that our duty has been neglected. Let us immediately take steps which will show that we are not entirely unconscious of the disgrace which the repetition of such an exhibition would bring upon the College. The lesson that we ought to learn from Wednesday night's experience, is, that we should either possess an efficient police force, whatever the expense, or have no celebration.

'87.
