	The Harvard Guide: Why Crimson?
		A pair of rowers, Charles W. Eliot, Class of 1853, and Benjamin W. Crowninshield, Class of 1858, provided crimson scarves to their teammates so that spectators could differentiate Harvard's crew team from other teams during a regatta in 1858.
		Eliot became Harvard's 21st president in 1869 and served until 1909; the Corporation vote to make the color of Eliot's bandannas the official color came soon after he stepped down.
		But before the official vote by the Harvard Corporation, students' color of choice had at one point wavered between crimson and magenta - probably because the idea of using colors to represent universities was still new in the latter part of the 19th century.

	Democratic Ideal
		Since his father was Treasurer to the College, the connection of Eliot with his place of education with the exception of a few short breaks has been lifelong.
		Notwithstanding the fact that the speeches and writings of Eliot have reference to University life the principles, as he shows in his addresses on certain aspects of primary and secondary practice, are capable of application throughout.
