InscriptionsThis tablet commemorates the great services to the cause of sound athletic sports in Harvard University and man other universities of LeBaron Russel Briggs, Dean of Harvard College 1891-1902, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences 1902-1925 and for seventeen years chairman of the committee on the regulation of athletic sports. His influence has been steadily exerted in favor of norable practices and a friendly spirit in spors stenuously competitve. From first to last he has recognized the close relation between the conduct of student sports and the physical and moral health of the institution to which they belong. The spirit of the composite committee on athletic sports which contains faculty, graduate and undergraduate members has been his spirit from the beginning. As he said of it in his first report on its behalf "it uses no strategy has no secrets and believes that athletic sports like every other art of the students' life should be administered not for themselves only but for the highest welfare of the university."
