In answer to this petition the following letter from President Eliot was received:
HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Cambridge, June 15, 1896.
Dear Mr. Fairchild:
The Dean of Harvard College, the Dean of the Lawrence Scientific School, the Regent, the Chairman of the Athletic Committee, and I, being the officers present at last Friday's conference, assent to the experiment on celebrations of athletic victories proposed in the letter which the students present at the conference subsequently addressed to me. The success of the experiment is of course to be ullimately judged by the College authorities.
I think it desirable that your letter and this reply should be brought to the knowledge of all the Students.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES W. ELIOT. Mr. J. C. Fairchild.
