EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The decision of the class of '82, forbidding the admission of freshmen to the tree on class day, meets the unanimous disapproval of '85. The day on which this privilege is enjoyed is the most important one of the year, and should be, as it is designed, one of the year, and should be, as it is designed, one of the common union of all-the last day of college association with the departing class. Why should this single opportunity to unite all in good fellowship, to dissipate any embitterments which may have arisen, to form a lasting remembrance of the happiest day of the college year, depend upon two games of base-ball? Should the misfortune of the few heap the greatest misfortune upon the many? Perhaps, however, this is meant as a grand reform; and the defeat of the nine, the crew, or the eleven at the hands of Yale, will deprive them of time-honored privileges. By all means, let this decision be rescinded, and, depend upon it, the freshman nine, if they represent a class placed on level with the more advanced, will respond more successfully to confidence and respect than to doubt and intimidation.
