...change the subject, or rather to get one I must admit that I do not agree with Heywood Broun when he talks of Harvard admission plans. Speaking of pictures, I saw recently that he himself wants one of Gandle, and if he admits that he doesn't know what the hero of his own book looks like what right has he to talk of what out student body should look like.

John Adams Abbott, Bostonian, descendant of John Adams, graduate of Gorton, odist of his class at Harvard ('25), stood in line last week to purchase a ticket which would admit him to the Vatican.

But at least the "Communications" column should be open to expressions of the opposite point of view...
...though with Horace one can admit that to play the fool in the right place is delightful, one cannot admit that the steps of Widener Library are the place. That the recent demonstration of the truth that Aristotle was a trifle sanguine in naming man a thinking being was significant of nothing but a moronic joie de vivre, nevermore to darken the doors of Widener is obvious. The moving pictures have enough material on hand for absurd caricature of Harvard life without aid from the class...
