Letter from Captain Brewer.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

Whether last evening's vote of the Faculty is wise or not is to be seen in future years; whether they have really acted towards the prosperity of our beloved college remains yet to be proved. For the present at least the deed is done, and as we think, perhaps, one of our most manly sports has been torn from us. But are we actually in a position to question the wisdom of this action? Stop a moment and think; do we, as undergraduates only in this college, consider that we can judge, with that judgment that comes from experience? Is it not better to trust to the foresight of our elders in experience at least; surely they realize the importance of the step they have taken, and are willing to accept the result, which they must sincerely believe will be only to our advantage. Is it not most discourteous to the faculty, our intended benefactors, if we tear to pieces their opinions and criticise them piecemeal, - we, only undergraduates who have scarcely reached our twenties? Surely we are not so vain as to believe that they carry enormous weight with them. Let it be for others to criticise; let it be for those who justly believe themselves capable; but let us at least prove ourselves gentlemen, courteous and manly.

A. H. BREWER.
