...undergraduate ideas; but in the fifty-one forty-nine division characteristic of the University, the CRIMSON's policies, though never claiming to present student opinion, necessarily find some proportion of favor. Whenever the opposition to its statements, inevitably great under such conditions, grows to the stage of pen and paper, the columns have been ready to admit criticism to the loss of editorial space. The disagreeing one-half may always make itself heard; but the spinelessness of a student newspaper depending entirely on outside stimulus for whatever it prints is completely opposed to Harvard's tradition and love of independent...
First of all, The Bulletin assumes that the disapproval of the undergraduate papers has rested upon inadequate information rather than upon intelligent understanding, and mentions the CRIMSON as an instance. As a matter of fact, the editors of the CRIMSON have kept in intimate contact with the development of the House Plan and have founded their objections on consideration of all the facts which could be obtained by anyone from the University authorities. And yet The Bulletin's supposition of the ignorance of the CRIMSON indicates the jealousy which has guarded from the public much prompt information about the House...
...habit, it does not publish. The CRIMSON has never pretended to reflect a general undergraduate opinion, but its editors believe that they are correct in suggesting that undergraduate opinion would not choose to be interpreted by such a conformist medium as The Bulletin. The latest essay of that paper is merely another expression of that tacit assumption of approval which has been characteristic of official Harvard more than once in the past...
...instance, between the Allied and Associated Powers and Roumania on December 9th, 1919, declared that the racial linguistic and religious minorities are entitled to maintain schools and that the state must to a certain degree subsidize them. In reality, however, this is not true; it exists only on paper. In Czeckoslovakia there is one such school to every 6,919 Czecks or Slovaks (because "Czeckoslovak" indicates an artificial and only apparent citizenship), but only one to 59,254 Hungarians, and more than half of the Hungarian children are forced to attend non-Hungarian schools and will thus be lost...
...which, in their irritating insistence upon periodical reckonings, are out of step with the times. Such a one, for example, is History 12. Here quizzes of the type given Freshman sections in elementary courses follow one another at fortnightly intervals; when there is no quiz, there is a short paper to be written, or a map to be handed in. The course becomes only a series of mileposts to be passed as quickly and easily as possible...
