In the supplement issued today, to which each of our subscribers is entitled, we publish in fall the statement which the Athletic committee has been preparing during the last three or four weeks. The report itself needs no explanation. It presents a full and can did reply to the manifesto which Princeton made public a few weeks ago, and is, as far as we can see, a complete vindication of Harvard's policy thus far this year. The completenss of the evidence in Harvard's favor will prove a surprise even to those who have been all along the most sanguine. Practically every doubtful question has been satisfactorily answered, and certainly every serious charge has been fully met. One of the best features of the report too, is the evident spirit of fairness with which the whole matter has been treated. There has been no attempt at a concealment of Harvard's real faults and no desire to avoid the evidence of any seemingly disagreeable facts which may have been brought to light during the recent controversy. The football question has been met fairly and squarely, and the result cannot fail to be gratifying to all whose sympathies are with Harvard. The thanks of the university are due the Athletic committee for their energy and faithfulness in the work they undertook. But for them and their efforts, Harvard would very likely have never been, in the eyes of the public, so completely vindicated as she is today.

The barge for West Medford will leave at 7.30 from in front of Bartlett's.
