NEW SCOREBOARD WORDING EXPLAINED BY DEAN BRIGGS

In a letter received at the CRIMSON yesterday, Dean Le Baron Russell Briggs '75 explains the recent change on the score boards at Soldiers Field which have substituted the word "visitors" for the "opponents" that used to precede the score of the visiting team. Dean Briggs acknowledges his responsibility for the change, made when he was Chairman of the Athletic Committee, but ascribes all credit for it to Professor Barrett Wendell '77, Dean Briggs' letter follows in full:

"Several times lately I have been credited with changing 'opponents' to 'visitors' on the scoreboards at Soldiers Field. As Chairman of the Athletic Committee I did make the change, and I heartily approved it, since it expressed something for which I cared much; but the suggestion of making it came to me from Professor Barrett Wendell and was characteristic of him.
