...CRIMSON celebrated its thirty-fourth anniversary on Saturday with a very successful dinner in the Union which was attended by about 70 past and present editors of the paper and it predecessors. Mr. H. M. Williams '85, as toastmaster, introduced the speakers with clever and appropriate remarks...
