Believing that destructive criticism is worse than no criticism at all, we do not intend to let the class election issue slumber until it is awakened by another such disgraceful exhibition as that of last Tuesday. The time to propose a remedy is before the painful recollection has died out of the minds of Harvard men, lest we again give occasion for Boston newspapers to seize gleefully upon the chance to hold "Harvard indifference" up before the public...
...purpose to disavow Mr. Fleming's definition of the word "soviet." It is, however, extremely maladroit for him to attempt to establish any real connection between a soviet government and our own.

When the University singing is so weak it cannot be heard above the band on the other side of the Stadium there is shown a deplorable lack of energy throughout the crowd. If Harvard is to sing at all let it be a real song. And let such an excellent example as Brown set be listened to rather than interrupted...
