Harvard Athletic Association.

The annual meeting of the Harvard Athletic Association for the election of officers was held last night in Lower Mass. The meeting was called to order by G. Crompton '95, and the following officers were unanimously elected: president, R. B. Beals '94; vice-president, T. E. Sherwin '94; treasurer, G. Crompton '95; secretary, A. H. Bullock '96.

The financial condition of the association is shown by the following report:

Of this debt half has been hanging over for the past two or three years. The chief cause of this deficit has been the unfavorable weather in which the games have been held.

A very interesting letter from C. R. Bardeen '93, ex-president of the association, was read, in which he says that owing to lack of interest in the first winter meeting it ought to be abolished and that unless greater effort is made in the other two they should also be abolished. Mr. Bardeen also speaks favorably for the continuance of the open handicap games held here in Cambridge in the spring.
