Democracy?

Almost weekly for the past six years the Harvard Alumni Bulletin has published letters from graduates who do not relish the seating arrangement at the annual Harvard-Yale football game.

One alumnus, who claims to have sat behind the goal posts regularly,

"surrounded with beetle-browed morons of a Neanderthal type," writes in the latest issue of the Bulletin that he supposes his neighbors at these games are persons listed in the Athletic Committee's annual report as " special guests of, or distinguished visitors to, the University. He concludes: "Ask all the Governors of Massachusetts, Mayors of Boston, Legislators, Police Commissioners, rubbers and pugilists, barbers and special guests that you like. Put them in the best seats--all together by themselves."
