EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - About thirty members of the Law School have formed a class to take lessons in Professor A. Loisette's course for strengthening the memory. Their purpose is to induce him to give lectures here in person as he has done lately at Yale. If any undergraduates wish to join the class, and will leave their names to-day at 20 Stoughton, they will confer a great favor. It is desirable to have seventy-five members, in which case the fee will be $8 apiece for the course.

I understand that Prof. Loisette has lectured to classes of two hundred or more from the college, besides other classes formed among the townsmen.

E. A.EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - In reference to the management of the Williams foot-ball team last fall in its relations with the Harvard management, since details seem necessary, I would state that the Yale manager, Mr. Hare, wrote to me on Sept. 24, desiring to arrange a game, and asking me for our open dates. Oct. 23 was among those given and Mr. Hare answered Sept. 28, saying, that "Oct. 23 suits us very well, but we must have some understanding of the conditions under which we play you." I made one offer which was declined, and on the day I made the second offer, - Sept. 29 I think - I wrote to Mr. Allen to see if I could arrange a game with him, in the event of my negotiations with Mr. Hare falling through.

The answer of Mr. Allen said that Harvard could give us Oct. 26, and then opened the subject of terms, asking for full expenses, or if not, h w much I was willing to offer.

I had made him no offer when, having agreed on terms with Mr. Hare, I sent word to Mr. Allen Oct. 7 from Albany as I now remember, that I could not play him after all, regretting our fruitless correspondence.

You thus see that over two weeks previous to our game with Yale there was a definite end put by me to negotiations which on my side were merely an inquiry whether Harvard had the date of Oct. 23 open for a possible game with Williams.

I do not see how Mr. Allen could have thought we had a game arranged between Harvard and Williams when the matter of terms, which caused Mr. Hare and myself such a delay, was just opened. Would he have considered it an agreement if I had made only an insignificant offer?

While disliking to enter this discussion, I think you will see how it was forced upon me.

G. C. LEONARD,Manager Williams Foot-Ball Eleven.
