There seems to be a misunderstanding prevalent here at college in regard to the inter-collegiate, or Mott Haven cup. According to the rules of the inter-collegiate convention governing the disposal of the cup, no college can obtain undisputed ownership of the cup unless the association breaks up. In this case, the cup goes to the college whose name appears most frequently upon it as winners; in case of ties, to the college whose name appears most frequently in ties. Under these conditions this cup must be competed for annually, as long as the association exists, and can never pass permanently into the hands of any college. Thus it will be seen that the rumor to the effect that, if we win the cup again this year, it will become our property for ever, is unfounded. We must not, however, on this account, strive any less earnestly for another victory, as we confidently hope that Harvard will again show her superiority in track athletics, although crippled by the loss of several men who have been of great assistance in winning the cup.
