IN THE BULLDOG'S KENNEL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard men, thick as locusts in China, descended on Yale last weekend. Cambridge was left a deserted village while, by Pullman and by thumb, the Crimson supporters swarmed south to New Haven. Well might the bulldog have retired into his Kennel and watched the hordes go by. But the portals of every Gothic structure were thrown wide open in welcome. House football teams were provided with bed, board, and dance tickets. Soccer and touch football men got like treatment. And inter-House dining privileges were honored in "brother" colleges to the Harvard Houses.

This generous welcome shows that more than a spring of ivy binds together the two colleges. Competition on the athletic field and camaraderie on the campus are in the Harvard-Yale tradition. And next year, in turn, John Harvard will extend himself to repay the past weekend by as openhearted a reception to Boston.
