After four years of swimming in a national gold-fish bowl, it is easy for the casual undergraduate to grow as indifferent to the changes within his Cambridge world as to development without. Perhaps, therefore, our readers will pardon the CRIMSON editors' annual urge to review the past year's developments before they depart from their note-pad pinnacle for more academic file cards. Our only conclusion at such close range can be that it has been a good year for historians and for sorcerers, and that it has been a year of expansion...
...role of the investigating colonel who insists on finding the real root of the major's treason, Arthur Kennedy is magnificent. The defendant's refusal to testify obviously disturbs him, yet he maintains a casual air throughout, with the result that he seems not only human, but typically Army. This effect arises naturally from the playwrights' lines, which have neither the sparkle of the drawing-room nor the hysteria of the melodrama, but flow along calmly, with occasional light touches in a vein that could be found in any Army office.

Considering ourselves among the "casual readers" of Mr. D. L. Halberstam's article on "The Negro in the South: I" in the Dec. 1 issue of the CRIMSON, we agree that his article sounded "one-sided" in the extreme.

Last year government and private agencies gave the Harvard Medical Center over $5,000,000 for research on various projects. Everyone seemed to have a pocketbook to match his problem, and to the casual observer Harvard should have had little to do but cash the check and proceed to investigate. Actually, Medical and Dental School authorities are worried whether their budgets can stand much more of this philanthropy...
