...Great Debate about the League took place on March 19, 1919, between President Lowell '77 and Henry Cabot Lodge '71, Senator from Massachusetts. Over 100,000 people applied for tickets for the 2900 seats in Symphony Hall and the winners were chosen by lottery. Lodge offered five "constructive criticisms," the first of which was that the League "should be redrafted and put into language that everyone can understand...
...CRIMSON agreed that the students should not interfere, because, "Beyond the effect on themselves is the effect upon the reputation of the University. Harvard all too often is considered reactionary; too often are we named--and wrongly--a breeding place for capitalism.

No undergraduates would have to leave. Since the reduction in faculty and students would be proportional to the reduction in research money, the financial gap to be filled by the university due to this restructuring...
This umbilical chord to the establishment adds a fine touch of irony to their issue on the confrontation. Another is why they did this issue in the first place. After all, the Lampoon had published just a single issue during the first nine tenths of this academic year--the only exception being the "movie worsts" issue (which is not a regular issue, as such, and whose publicity was so pre-ordained that radio station WRKO carried the winners of this year's awards in its headline news...

This stylistic invitation to artistic indulgence occasionally helps betray Lowell into incoherence. Surrealism, after all, is mainly for those who applaud calculated chaos as critical therapy, a place where turned-on birds may sing but no poetry is written. When Lowell's struggle is against his own chaos, he does not always win. But when reason triumphs, poetry prevails. When Lowell confronts the world outside, he compels, not perhaps always for the justice of his cause...
