The Boston College Alumni Association feels that rather than deprive lovers of football of an opportunity to witness this classic that under all circumstances it would be well if Dartmouth and Stanford were allowed to play at the Harvard Stadium on November 28, 1931.
I therefore request that Your Honor reconsider the decision which you announced in your letter to Mr. Bingham under the date of April 10, 1931. Respectfully yours, Edward A. McLaughlin, J. President, B. C. Alumni.
"All's Well--"
A copy of McLaughlin's letter was sent by the mayor to Bingham with the following letter appended:
My Dear Mr. Bingham.
I am in receipt of the accompanying communication this day, which I beg to forward herewith, submitted by the president of the Boston College Alumni in which he states that the Boston College Alumni Association is agreeable to the game which Dartmouth and Stanford Universities desire to play at the Harvard Stadium on November 28, 1931. The action as taken by the Boston College Alumni is both sportsman-like and commendable and objection by them to the holding of the game having been withdrawn I know of no reason why I should withhold approval. You are at liberty to inform President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard and the presidents of Dartmouth and Stanford universities as to the decision arrived at. Respectfully yours, James M. Curley.
