AN APPRECIATION.

It is with extreme regret that we learn of the intended resignation of Mr. Garcelon, who as Graduate Treasurer and Secretary of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports has raised the organization and financial management of athletics to a high standard of efficiency and at the same time increased the facilities for and advantages of physical education at Harvard. When he became treasurer five years ago, he found the financial administration of the Athletic Association in a rather chaotic state, but by the introduction of business methods he has built up an efficient organization. His efforts to elevate the spirit of athletics and to increase the opportunities offered to all undergraduates for physical training are too well known to require comment here. It is a pleasure to know that Mr. Garcelon, even after resignation, will continue to keep in close touch with Harvard athletics in order to give them the value of his advice and the fruits of his experience.
