To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

As a member of the Harvard Dining Association, I feel that the disgraceful outbreak of rowdyism at dinner last night, should not pass unnoticed. Because women visiting the hall are conspicous in their behavior is no reason why we should not be gentlemen. Though rapping on dishes and general uproar while visitors are in the gallery has been, I think unwisely, tolerated in the past, there can be no excuse for the throwing of food and other articles. As for a long time no effort was made to restore order, it is to be presumed that no directors were present; for they should certainly consider it their duty to deal firmly with so disgraceful an exhibition. Let us hope that in future Harvard students will be Harvard gentlemen. Sincerely   G. DEWEY '09.
