We believe that the privilege granted to University athletes of wearing the letter "H" on their uniforms should be more carefully guarded than it is at present, if it is to remain the mark of honor which it is intended to be. No team should be allowed to wear the "H" unless it has the standing in the University which firm establishment and general popularity alone can give it. Without any reflection upon other sports carried on more or less successfully at Harvard, we believe that the members of the football eleven, the crew, the baseball team, and the point winners of the Mott Haven team are the only men who should be accorded the "H." There is good reason for such a restriction. Until a sport gets the standing which those mentioned possess, the men who participate in it can never fairly be said to represent the University.
