To the Editors of the Crimson:
So much was said last year in criticism of the arrangements for the sale of the Springfield tickets, that it would be unjust to let this season go by without a word of commendation to the management for their present admirable arrangement. And the management certainly does deserve high praise for the success of the sale. The disagreeable features of previous years have been avoided, the allotment has been perfectly fair to all, and the ease with which the college and the graduates have obtained tickets has amounted almost to a luxury.
These blessings have not come without a corresponding amount of hard work and drudgery on the part of the management. For the last fortnight their whole time has been given up to this work; and for this devotion the whole college, I am sure, feels sincere gratitude.
Now that the management have treated us to this luxury once, it would hardly do to go back to the old system again in the future. The plan should be extended, it possible, to the large baseball games as well. To be sure it is asking a good deal, not to say too much, of a management to give up so much of their own time to carrying out the details. However, much of the work can be delegated to other men, as has to some extent been done, I believe, in the present case, and thus a good deal of the labor will be taken off the hands of the management. It may be somewhat more expensive, but to the college it means an infinite blessing.
