When Col. Clarence Marshall Young resigned last spring as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics the new Administration abolished his job. His work was divided among five men under Assistant Secretary of Commerce Ewing Y. Mitchell who admittedly knows nothing about aviation.

It was with poorly concealed intent to touch this inner spring that the CRIMSON inaugurated it's Harvard Portraits. There seems to have been some, misunderstanding: in the course of the past week Professors Burkhard and Morison have been espied, carrying large wads of CRIMSONS under their arms...
