LETTERS FOR MANAGERS

The ancient agitation for letters for managers has acquired a new lease of life through a general undergraduate feeling that the managers are insufficiently rewarded, and an energetic advocacy of the award of "D" to managers by some of the men affected. The influence in favor of a change in the status of the athletic managers has acquired sufficient strength to give semblance to the report that the Athletic Council is ready to take a receptive attitude, and will seriously consider any recommendation of the entire undergraduate body. Articles in favor of the "D" for athletic managers have appeared in The Berna by Captain Whitney of the football team, and manager Redfield of the baseball team. Undergraduate sentiment seems to be quite decidedly in favor of a further recognition of the services of the manager, but there is great difference of opinion as to whether the letter is the proper reward, and if so, whether it should not be in some way distinct from the letter won on the athletic field.
