HEALTH OF SOLDIERS FIELD.

State and Boston Boards of Health Report Favorably.

In compliance with a request made by the Crimson some weeks ago, the Athletic Committee has, by the authority of the Corporation and President Eliot, made public the expert health report upon Soldiers Field given below.

The investigation has been made in order to set at rest certain rumors that have been current during the past year or two to the effect that the field was unfit for training purposes, owing to the presence of malaria. The decidedly favorable result of the inquiry is particularly gratifying at this time, since it enables the Athletic Committee to proceed with confidence in its plans for fitting out the field for the accommodation of the baseball and track athletic interests. Coming as it does from the most expert and authoritative source obtainable, the State Board in conjunction with the local Boston Board, its opinion is not to be disputed.
