To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The CRIMSON editorial for Friday of last week concerning hospitality to visiting teams prompts me to write a word or two about the friendliness with which Cornell entertained our second crew at Ithaca.

The manager met them at the station and after taking complete charge of their baggage, conducted them to the hotel. After breakfast the manager, assisted by one or two others of the "rowing staff" at Cornell, took them to the campus, showed them through the most interesting of the buildings, and introduced them in one of the fraternities. When the Harvard crew went to the boat-house in the afternoon, they found that ten or a dozen Cornell men had preceded them and had carried their shell from the car to the boat-house, and that the men against whom they were to row had given up their own lockers that the visitors might have a place to hang their clothing.

At the "Regatta Concert" that evening, given by the Cornell glee and mandolin clubs, a box was reserved for the visiting crew, and "Fair Harvard" was one of the numbers on the program. Shortly after breakfast the next morning, the manager appeared at the hotel with a drag and four horses, and invited the entire squad of twelve Harvard men to drive with him along the shores of Lake Cayuga, and in the afternoon special seats were reserved for them at the Pennsylvania-Cornell ball game. Immediately after the race the Cornell men aided those whom they had just defeated in getting their shell from the boat-house back into the car, and stayed with them, eager to be of any assistance, until their train was made up.

These are facts which speak for themselves. The contest was friendly from the start, and when it was over, there was neither condescension from Cornell nor bitterness from Harvard. If we are as broad-minded here at Harvard as our ideals would have us, we cannot fail to profit by the gentlemanly example of the men at Cornell who have proved themselves such excellent hosts.
