THE UNION TROPHY ROOM.

The CRIMSON takes pleasure in printing the communication of the Chairman of the Trophy Room Committee explaining the apparent neglect of our athletic trophies. As is often the case the neglect is not due to the lack of interest of the men in charge but to the lack of funds in their control. It is a great pity to allow banners and other destructible relics to be ruined because there is not enough money to preserve them, and to allow cups to be hidden away out of sight because there are no cases to put them in. Certainly this is a cause which deserves recognition from the class treasurers, and the example of 1908 should be followed by the graduating classes of the future. But it would seem more appropriate if the Athletic Association would set aside enough of its funds to provide for the trophies won by the teams under its charge.
