COURTESY TO DARTMOUTH

The request of the Dartmouth Athletic Council for the use of the Harvard Stadium for a football game with Leland Stanford University two years from this fall will be referred to the Corporation, the only body with authority to grant or withhold this favor. Although the remoteness of the event may make the question appear unimportant, there is inherent in it a kind of test.

An old athletic rival has shown Harvard a courtesy in filing such a request. To Leland Stanford, Dartmouth and to all New England the game will mean much. Harvard itself can only gets by returning the courtesy of the Dartmouth Council, a gesture which will properly belie the charges of aloofness aimed at the University.
