Welcome Due Sailors at Game.

(We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest, but assume no responsibility for sentiments expressed under this head.)

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

On the occasion of the Harvard-Brown game today, the Harvard management has very kindly invited all of the sailors at the Navy Yard to be their guests. The sailors will have no tickets. The uniform of the U. S. Navy will admit them to the grounds and entitle them to seats. That part the management has arranged for very satisfactorily. They could be expected to do no more.

But there should be more to this invitation than merely seeing to it that the sailors have seats. They should be made welcome by all Harvard men with a lusty Harvard cheer, and receive the right hand of fellowship. These same lads whom you will see attending your football game will probably be among the first to give their lives for their country, should the cause ever come. They are spending four arduous years of their life in preparing for the event, while the undergraduate is enjoying four years of the best the land can give him. Is it not well, then, to recognize the debt we owe to the lad who has taken up his career in order that the good things of civilization may be ours, and give him a hand to show him that we appreciate it?
