To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Monday night's demonstration in the Majestic Theatre, which appears to have been so entirely misunderstood by the newspapers, calls for some expression on behalf of the undergraduates who were there.

It is impossible for any Harvard man, who has seen the play, not to regard it as a false and absurd representation of Harvard life, which does not even plead the excuse of being a travesty. There is abundant proof that the play has been accepted as authentic in many of the large cities in this country. It was applauded at Yale.

However much some of us may regret the form which the expressions of disapproval took, it is impossible not to sympathize with the spirit in which these protests were offered, and it seems no more than just that some public expression of this disapproval should go out from the College. Let it be definitely understood that while the College regrets the disturbance on Monday night, it is not to be supposed for a moment that "Brown of Harvard" is to be received by the public as a truthful representation of Harvard life. 1907.
