To the Editors of the Crimson:
During the last spring a communication appeared in your columns suggesting that a room in the Union be used as the Trophy Room instead of the present room in the Gymnasium. Since that time nothing has appeared on the subject, and it is not generally known how the matter stands at present. It seems a pity that the plan for this change should be dropped, as it would surely be a good thing to have the records of our former victories more constantly before us.
A possible place that might be suggested for the trophies is the large reading room on the first floor. The walls in this room are now rather bare, and could be greatly improved by an attractive exhibition of cups, photographs and trophy cases.
In the present room in the Gymnasium the cups are kept behind bars and in a dark place where it is hard to see them. In the Union it would not be necessary to keep them so guarded, as the constant passing would prevent any attempts that might be made upon them.
The Harvard athletic records and the names of their makers are also kept on tablets in the Trophy Room; but it hardly seems a distinction to place them where they are almost never seen. 1903.
