The communication column of the CRIMSON is not intended as a place in which any member of the University may feel at liberty publicly to insult the paper, or to air any and every fancied grievance against it.

He is a man of action; always thoroughly acquainted with the matter in hand from its broadest aspects to its minutest details, always clear as to his own intention, always calm, swift and unhesitating in its realization. No university president in the country is his equal in executive ability, and it is safe to say that, when his administration closes, the executive of Harvard will have to be reorganized...
