To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The writer who condemned the transfer students and the graduates from other colleges, no doubt meant it in the right way, but he went a little too far in including all of the above. Without a doubt there are a great many of these students who sit in the Harvard cheering section and make themselves obnoxious. But there are also a great many who pull for Harvard as well as the average undergraduate does.

To a student coming as a transfer from a college where it would be inviting next to murder to sit in the cheering section and cheer for the other side, this business seems very strange. Nobody is being condemned for cheering for the other side; far from it. But to show so little tact and good taste as to sit in the Harvard cheering section and cheer for the other side, is a thing that one would place above the average person with a particle of grey matter in his head. The people who do this know very well that they could not get away with it at the college that they came from. They do it now because they can, and will, get away with it until the Harvard cheering section feels a little shame and self respect and throws them out in none too gentle a fashion. These individuals who persist in coming into the cheering section where they don't belong, place themselves on par with that low down rabble that infests the wooden stands and puts up such a wonderful exhibition of fair mindedness.

As to that bunch of hoodlums, skunks and what not, who delight in razzing Harvard at every step, the less paper wasted on them the better. Perhaps some day the Harvard cheering section will get kind of peeved, peel off their coats, roll up their sleeves and march over to those wooden stands and settle once and for all the question as to whose Stadium this is anyway.
