The rules adopted by the H. A. A to govern the winter meetings are in effect those of last year, and contain the old provision: "No member of the university shall be permitted to witness any sports unless he be a member of the association." We fail to see the justice of this regulation. The members of the association ought to have first choice of seats and first opportunity to buy seats, but after they have been supplied it is unjust to bar other college men. There is no good reason why members should be allowed to buy tickets for outsiders, but not for other college men. The sports are for the benefit of the university, and not for outsiders; they are held in a university building. There is no more reason for shutting out non-menbers from them than for shutting out men who do not belong to the baseball association from the baseball games. The rule in question, though we are inclined to doubt it, may be a means of making money; but that is no defence. College men ought not to be compelled to join the H. A. A. in order to see college sports. Even the provision that no Harvard men except members of the H. A. A. can compete is unjust, since the association sends a team of athletes every year to represent Harvard at the Mott Haven games. A university team ought to be drawn from the university, with no restriction, and university sports ought to be open to the university, with no restriction.
