Roosevelt '04). For those with literary aspirations who are more attracted to local magazines it is pointed out that for the past three years the CRIMSON has won the Dana Reed award for the best place of writing in an undergraduate publication...

The local gentry are snobby about Vardon Hall's comedown and sniffy about the artist types soon to take it over.
