...CRIMSON is glad to find that there are actually some students in this self-sufficient community with energy enough to start a new publication, especially when this new publication, especially when this new effort shows that literary ability still exists among the undergraduates and instructors. The genuine Magazine contains better fiction and as good verse as the College has been offered in a long time. It has the ear-marks of a successful literary paper.

For if the question of immigration were to be exempted from the League's jurisdiction, why not likewise the questions of limitation of armament and the manufacture of munitions...
...which others might regard as a burden to get rid of, but in which he would discern an opportunity for important service,-and the book or article would be set aside, and the job that was immediately necessary performed in its stead. Harvard was invariably the gainer by his self-sacrifice. No university can go on without the sort of devotion that he gave. It is only too rarely that such devotedness can be found...
