To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

On February 16th the CRIMSON announced that 22 clubs had made a final agreement regarding the election of Freshmen. It is important to the success of the movement which resulted in this agreement that the matter should be brought to the attention of all incoming Freshmen and should be kept in mind by members of the clubs themselves. The greatest danger to the success of the agreement lies in the chance that some members of one or more clubs will forget or not understand some provisions of the agreement and do something which will seem to the members of some other club or clubs to violate its terms. They in turn may be tempted to retaliate in kind, and then the fat will be in the fire. If the members of the clubs will keep in mind the essence of the agreement, which is that no attempts to influence a man as to his club affiliations are to be made until the opening of College in his Sophomore year, and will take up with their graduate representatives anything which seems to them to be such an attempt, instead of trying to even things up by retaliation in kind, the agreement should prove successful.
