Since nine o'clock yesterday morning the University has been blessed by the birth of twin magazines, or, more correctly speaking, two magazines, each boasting the same highly cacophonous and widely copyrighted title. Wednesday's red polemic entitled "The Harvard Magazine" is being followed this morning by a collegiate Collier's of the identical title.

But, farce or comedy, it is always entertaining and the characters are people whom one is glad to have met whichever way one takes them...
