CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON : -

So much has been said, and on the whole so ill said, in the College and Boston press, about the refusal of Sanders Theatre to the Harvard Union, that I desire to state the facts. It is not true that the Faculty were arbitrary and unjust, the Faculty had nothing to do with it. It is not true that Republican meetings are allowed, and Democratic forbidden. The Corporation were willing that the Union should occupy any other hall in the Yard or elsewhere, for speakers from both parties. The Union has been granted the use of a College hall for its meetings, and another for its reading-room. That the authorities are not willing to give it facilities for large public meetings, addressed by political speakers of eminence, is a matter of regret, but not for abuse.

ALBERT B. HART,President Harvard Union.
