To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Anybody who has been to the Trophy Room of the Harvard Union recently must have noticed with much regret the wretched state of dilapidation which surrounds it. In the first place, the room where our athletic treasures are stored is out of the way on the second floor of the not too frequented building. At other colleges the emblems of victory are preserved in a prominent place. But what we notice most particularly is the condition of the banners and flags which decorate the walls. They resemble ancient battle devices. They are torn and tattered and falling absolutely to pieces. Perhaps it is appropriate that the banner which commemorates Harvard's winning the Intercollegiate Tug-of-War Championship in 1884 should be ripped and torn. But it seems to me that interesting records like these should be better preserved than they are at present. Is there not some committee or some person who is responsible for the upkeep of Harvard's athletic trophies? R. McA. LLOYD, Jr., '19.
