...that old devil Harvard indifference steals in and makes a Hamlet of every possible enthusiast by whispering "Let someone else do it." One vicious little idea prevents any concrete accomplishment. So the CRIMSON, to end a worn-out issue and to fulfil a traditional role as leader of undergraduate intellectualism presents a plan for action. If anyone is seriously interested in the matter, he is urged to form a committee, proselytize, secure if possible a patroness as generous and energetic as the French films have had, and so to set up the machinery for presenting the films...

...reader of and as an enthusiast about TIME, I want to take you to task for publishing on p. 28 of the Oct. 9 issue a picture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. I think that TIME shows decidedly poor taste in publishing a semi-nude picture of the President's son, when the boy has particularly requested that he be let alone, and that this photograph be not used. This is the type of thing expected from the racy tabloids, but not of your magazine. Even newspapers like the Times and the Herald Tribune did not publish this picture...
