...social environment of the individual in Harvard College. Previous editorials have undertaken only the preliminary examination. They have not been concerned with diagnosis or remedies. From these editorials conclusions are now to be drawn; these conclusions, in turn, will form the basis for recommendations.

The inference is clear and the results are obvious. William Z. Foster, the Communist national chairman, has already announced that his party members will go underground rather than register in accordance with the bill, and Professor Kirtley F. Mather, chairman of the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union has stated that thousands of non-Communist liberals will...
