Again we wish to call attention to the disgraceful neglect of the Trophy Room at the Gymnasium. It is only just to the men who have represented the University on its athletic teams that some effectual means be taken of perpetuating their victories. Hardly a week passes when some graduate does not visit the gymnasium and look in the Trophy Room for mementos of the teams which were turned out when he was in college; and a well ordered Trophy Room would serve not only as an incentive to new candidates for the teams but also as a connecting link between Harvard athletics of the past and those of the present.

Many trophies of interest such as the old Mott Haven Cup, the West Point Football Cup, and the Lawn Tennis Trophy, which are now the property of the University, and the Shooting Cup, the Fencing Trophy and the Chess Cup, which are held temporarily, are either stored away for safe keeping or on exhibition in some other place than the Trophy Room. There are also many footballs, baseballs, flags and other trophies won by Harvard teams from year to year which are either put away like the cups or selfishly taken by individuals. All will agree that the Trophy Room is the proper place for these things, but to keep them safely glass cases are needed. The room is so constructed that glass cases could very conveniently be built into the walls at small expense. Surely the Athletic Committee should be willing to have the Graduate Athletic Manager appropriate enough money to attend to this want. In addition, it should be the duty of the manager of every athletic team to leave a photograph of his team in the Trophy Room at the end of the season.

Dr. Sargent has always been willing to take charge of the room and its contents. Indeed, both he and Mr. Hemenway would long ago have been glad to give the matter the attention which it needs had they not thought that such action would mean more to graduates and undergraduates if undertaken by the latter.
