PROFESSOR MENDELL'S TRIBUTE

In a special telegram to the CRIMSON Professor C. W. Mendell, Chairman of the Yale Athletic Committee, paid the following tribute to the work of Le Barton Russell Briggs '75:

New Haven, Conn., March 30--"Dean Briggs represents more than anyone else the present high spirit of sportsmanship in intercollegiate athletics. His sane judgements, unerring fairness, and broad charity have through many years formed a sound basis of friendship between Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. His character and personality alone have been ample insurance against serious misunderstanding, and no other man has in equal degree the personal love and respect of the members of all three Universities. I cannot overstate the regret and sense of loss which his retirement will cause here at Yale."
