Yet in 321, this attitude extends beyond the polls. In all of its essayings into undergraduate life there is a failure to ask why. Even in the mediocre best of the lot, an article on religion at Harvard, the Yearbook holds itself to a straight reporting job, never allowing the fact to flower into truth. As a result, its record...
