...Princetonian's editorial policies, for example, are not determined by the Chairman alone. They are not, it is true, subjects of "heated arguments lasting as long as an hour;" but they are the objects of a vote by the Senior Board, and the products of the majority's consensus.

The editors alone are not responsible for the Princetonian--the credit and blame lie far deeper, in the forces shaping the college itself...
