Sport: Democracy?

Almost weekly for the past six years the Harvard Alumni Bulletin has published letters from graduates who do not relish the seating arrangement at the annual Harvard-Yale football game.

One alumnus, who claims to have sat behind the goal posts regularly,

“surrounded with beetle-browed morons of a Neanderthal type,” writes in the latest issue of the Bulletin that he supposes his neighbors at these games are persons listed in the Athletic Committee’s annual report as ” special guests of, or distinguished visitors to, the University. He concludes: “Ask all the Governors of Massachusetts, Mayors of Boston, Legislators, Police Commissioners, rubbers and pugilists, barbers and special guests that you like. Put them in the best seats—all together by themselves.”
