LET THEM SEE

To attack an institution, so universal, so dear to the heart of Harvard tradition, as that great gambling device, "the draw", is undertaken with not a little trepidation. More so since not among the first by quite a number of classes, ranks the lowly Senior of Harvard College. He will see the Dartmouth football game unless he foregoes fair company for the visual advantages of the cheering section, from a point of vantage notable mainly for its distance from the participants. And the mere fact that "the draw" will be reversed for the Pennsylvania game, and that he can gamble again for seats at the Yale game, with no more assurance of favor at the hands of Dame Fortune, marks the injustice as no less howling.

But after invoking a hall of "poor loser" criticism, the bare facts remain, that undergraduate members of the University must take their chances among forty eight thousand graduates for the privilege of watching, at least from hailing distance, what is primarily an undergraduate function. A suggestion for change now can do no possible good to those who feel the burden of a present cross, but for future generations of undergraduates, as the saying goes, perhaps it will not have been suggested in vain.
