EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The Glee Club and Pierian Sodality are making a good deal of complaint about the smallness of the audience which attended their recent concert in Sanders Theatre. Their complaint perhaps is just and the unwillingness of many to attend is undoubtedly to be severely censured. But are not these two societies themselves somewhat to blame for their small audiences? To fix the price of admission to their own concerts is undoubtedly their own business, but if the price is fixed too high for the general public can they complain if their audiences are small.

The last number of the Crimson plainly, but unwittingly, we hope, violates this tradition, and induges in an unseemly slur upon the reputation for gentleman-liness of the visitors from Yale to our recent 'Varsity game. The conduct of the Yale team, it cannot be denied, was in general ungentlemanly and altogether reprehensible. The conduct of the Yale papers since the game has been equally bad or even worse. But not all this, we think, affords our contemporary any justification for the brutal fashion...
