THE FRESHMAN DINNER.

The communication from the officers of the Freshman class published in this issue of the CRIMSON transfers the responsibility for the disgraceful disorders at the recent 1913 class dinner from the class as a whole to a small body of men. These men, according to the report of the proprietor of the American House, were intoxicated when they arrived at the dinner; and after assembling at their table they began the disturbance, in which they took the leading part. It appears that most of these men were members of a single Freshman organization, the Polo Club. It is manifestly unfair that the class should bear the blame for an exhibition of vulgarity actually occasioned by a small number of distinctly non-representative men; and in view of the publicity which has unfortunately attended the incident, it is important that the responsibility and attendant disgrace should be placed where they properly belong.
