...Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room at present contains selections from one of the Library's most interesting historical collections, the cartoons of James Gillray...
...suggestion contained in The Mail has been found fallacious in practice, and is peculiarly inapplicable to Harvard. The occasional letter is probably perused more readily than the ever-present editorial; but the substitution of editorial columns by a popular forum was, to mention only the one instance of The Traveler, unsatisfactory, from the fundamental cause that no individual opinion carries the prestige of collective opinions, backed by the policy of a newspaper. Furthermore, the editors are automatically in a position to have more information about University affairs than does the average undergraduate, and therefore to interpret them, if not more...
...such an attempt. Where a student body is unanimous in its approvals and disapproval's, a newspaper constantly opposing it deserves no consideration as a representative of 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...

As a result, the scope of the CRIMSON is narrowed and no one derives any great benefit from reading what is printed. If you should exclude all but the comments of the University at large, not only would more people find interest in the editorial column, but Harvard would be provided with a true criterion of undergraduate thought.
