Since the days of the New England poets Harvard has maintained a tradition of leadership in the field of creative writing. Obviously this tradition could only have been maintained through the consistent excellence of the English Department, particularly with regard to the elective composition courses offered to interested students. Professor Munn's recent reorganization of the department displays a laudable tendency toward a more closely knit field with regard to literature, but the only change in the somewhat decadent field of composition is in the naming of the courses...
...nothing but an uncritical headless opposition. With no principles to guide it, and no leader to enforce them, it has been unable to adapt itself as a critical anti-administration party. This function, intelligently performed, is as essential to the efficient operation of our two-party democracy as able leadership by the group in power.

The fact which cannot be overemphasized is that such men are not attracted by security alone, nor by mere altruism. What they have demanded in the past, and what they will certainly demand in the future, is, first, a tangible opportunity to rise in proportion to their demonstrated ability, and, second...
