Professor Brinton, who is a former member of the Harvard Liberal Club and now associated with the Harvard Inquiry, observed that "Harvard under- graduates as a whole are relatively uninterested in politics. A small group, composed mostly of those naturally 'again the Government,' maintain the so-called liberalism of the New Republic and Nation type. The Liberal Club, captured by the Communist element in a recent election coup-d'etat, represents a certain type of 'liberalism,' while the Inquiry, concerned with investigations of social phenomena from the student standpoint, represents another.

Speculator Cutten, well aware that further regulation threatens the wheat pit, which "is for me as the deck of his ship to a sailor," insisted: "Speculation is wrong when...
...financial difficulties of the Lampoon are no surprise to those well acquainted with the problems of maintaining undergraduate publications in the face of economic retrenchment on all sides. The temporary crisis which confronts the most venerable college comic in the country may deprive Harvard of one of her oldest institutions. Despite occasional lapses into adolescent bad taste, the Lampoon, in face of falling subscriptions and hostile trends "has endeavored to maintain a high standard of clean wholesome humor...
