The cover, a pleasant photograph of a girl outside Harvard Hall, sets the inter-collegiate tone, while the football-weekend montage inside lends the timely mood. The new magazine has set itself a road to travel; the need for it seem to be there; and this issue is worth its thirty-five cent price...
