In changing the succession of events after publishing the regular time of each in the CRIMSON, the officers in charge of the Athletic Association meeting on Saturday made an unfortunate mistake. Several men were not notified in time, and when on the point of preparing for their events were forced to withdraw from some of them, as the new arrangements allowed them no breathing spell. The arrangements of the Athletic Association, at outdoor, as well as the winter meetings, have, as a rule, been of the best. The officers have always endeavored to provide for the comfort and convenience of the contestants. The change on Saturday, which resulted in public confusion, was probably made for the convenience of some person.

It is almost needless, after the long discussion of the subject with which we have been favored, to refer again to the proposed torchlight procession on next Thursday evening. But much has been said of late concerning the alarming difference in political opinions among the students with reference to their bearing upon college unity. Twice have we seen partisan processions go out from Harvard, in support of partisan felling. Each time the college at large has not felt cooled upon to accompany the movement and has looked upon the procession as a merely local affair. And here the division of the students should cease.

We cannot think that at a moment of a proposed mass parade of the students, any one will feel called upon by his personal feelings to desert his fellow-students and refuse to obey the expressed will of the majority. The appearance of the Harvard students in the presidential parade is looked upon as the feature of the campaign, in the way of a torchlight display. Whether, mugwump, stalwart, or third-party man, the Harvard student is at present preeminently a Harvard student and is when a representation from Harvard demanded every local or partisan prejudice should cease and the call be responded to unanimously by those who bear the title of Harvard students.
