To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In behalf of the Republican Club of the Institute of Technology, allow me to express through your columns, our appreciation of the kindly feeling of interest and sympathy which Harvard men have shown for us since the unfortunate affair of last Wednesday night. That an evening otherwise so successful should have ended so disastrously is a matter of common regret to us all.

I wish also to thank your marshals for the gentlemanly and courteous spirit shown by them in all our dealings, both before and during the parade. Yours very truly,   NORMAN LOMBARD,

President Republican Club and Chief Marshal.
