To the Editors of the Crimson:

There are in a few local stores some heraldic shields which deserve the notice of Harvard men. In England, it is the custom for each university and each college in the university to have its own shield, and these shields are to be found upon the walls of nearly every student's room. A prominent graduate of Harvard, who is an authority on heraldic matters, has become interested in introducing the custom into this country. He has sent here several Harvard shields and also reproductions of the shields of Cambridge and Oxford Universities, and of Emmanual College from which John Harvard graduated. The idea of introducing this custom here seems to me so good that its success is ensurnd if only the attention of the students is called to it.
