WORST KIND OF SPECULATION.

The communication and the notice from the Athletic Association which we print this morning, regarding ushers' tickets, are indicative of some of the lowest attempts imaginable on the part of certain students, whom we refuse to grace with the name of Harvard men, to defraud the College by speculation. Any man who, on the plea of poverty, has secured a ticket admitting to the Stadium as an usher and who has sold the ticket, deserves not the least semblance of sympathy. He has secured his ticket under false pretenses and has then proceeded to deprive men who really need the opportunity of a chance to usher. Blacklisting is too light a penalty for such an offence. But we hope that consciences will come into play and that no penalties will have to be inflicted.
