THE NEWELL GATE

A few years ago when undergraduates marched to Soldiers Field in a body to attend the important athletic games, it was a custom to enter by the Newell gate, and in memory of Marshal Newell to remove hats as the procession passed through. For some reason, or perhaps for no reason at all, this custom has been forgotten, the Newell gate is kept locked on such occasions, and the undergraduates pass through the regular entrances. Without pretending to pass finally on the practicability of re-adjusting the ticket-taking and seating arrangements now in use, we think that the custom is too good to allow to die, and that, if revived, it will recall to future College generations the memory of a Harvard man so deserving of perpetuation.
