To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

While watching our games with the smaller colleges I have always felt annoyed that the men on these teams are so poorly provided for on Soldiers Field. The single bench on the farther side of the field forms too strong a contrast to the more comfortable provisions made for our men. Later in the season more powerful teams are provided with a shelter similar to that used by Harvard's team. Why could not this shelter be erected at the beginning of the season and thus be enjoyed by all the opposing teams? I, for one, cannot see why a smaller team should be less courteously cared for than Dartmouth, Princeton, or Yale.

The warmer weather at the beginning of the season cannot be used as a good excuse for this neglect of the smaller teams, as the shelter on our side of the field is used from the very first game. I have never heard any remarks on the subject from members of the visiting teams, but it seems impossible that they can sit in a baking sun or exposed to biting breezes without noticing that their hosts are so well protected.

To conclude, is there any real reason why we should not treat our guests from smaller colleges as well as we do those from the larger institutions? Let us hope that this neglect can be remedied and removed as an excuse for men unfamiliar with Harvard to call up the hackneyed and mythical "Harvard Indifference."  FRANK C. WHITMORE '11
