To the Editors of the Crimson:

It must have struck many people at Soldiers Field on Saturday that those students who, presumably as novitiates of some College society, exhibited themselves in a burlesque of Indian dress and practices, chose in this a peculiarly objectionable means of attracting public attention. The young men who come here from Carlisle are among the best representatives of an unfortunate, but manly and dignified race; and they should receive from all spectators here, and especially from Harvard men, that courteous and respectful treatment which they are perfectly able to exact from the players who meet them hand to hand in the line-up. Of course no insult to the visitors was intended; but to make their customs an object of ridicule in so public a way, and in their very faces, was a piece of arrogance which, though not purposely offensive, must have cut deep into Indian sensibilities. Very truly yours,   EDWIN H. HALL.

Cambridge, Oct. 29.
