Providence, R. I., May 31--The Brown University Athletic Council last night issued the following statement expressing its sympathy for Harvard and its own regret at the sudden death of Major Moore:

The Brown University Athletic Council learns with deep regret of the sudden and untimely death, of Major Fred W. Moore, for more than twenty years Graduate Treasurer of the Harvard Athletic Association. Major Moore's services to his Alma Mater have been many and varied. His career has been devoted to the promotion of wholesome rivalry and clean, vigorous sportsmanship. To him athletics existed not only to build the body but to train the mind and spirit. He knew well that truth and fair play can be taught no where better than on the gridiron or a diamond.

By his death Harvard has lost a devoted and efficient servant, and intercollegiate Athletic a faithful and valued friend. The Brown University Athletic Council therefore wishes formally to record its sorrow at his death and to express to his widow and his associates its sincerest sympathy.

Brown University Athletic Council.
