There can be no question, I think, that in these eighty-five years successive editors have built for the HARVARD CRIMSON a strong place in Harvard College. Although I can't vouch that a canvass of the Faculty would bring an overwhelming paean of praise for the CRIMSON, I believe that the Faculty owes a large debt of gratitude to the CRIMSON, probably greater than it realizes. Faculty members would, I think, almost universally commend the paper for its occasional "feature articles." They would, I suspect, be less complimentary about the editorials on subjects of which they have special knowledge...
...came in President Eisenhower's message, the now familiar charges of inflammatory U.S. propaganda that could not be backed by real help. But these are minor matters compared to the ferocity of the Red terror. Often Reporter Michener himself appears amazed by the enormity of it, and to vouch for his accuracy he finds it necessary to declare solemnly that he has never fallen for phony horror stories-or for Red-baiting.

...four medical students. Offhand I couldn't think of a more depressing subject, but once at the Exeter I laughed myself silly along with a good fifty percent of the audience. Since, However, about one-half of the audience were medical students known to me personally, I cannot vouch for the layman's reaction, for the film contains a remarkable amount of professional humor, scrutable only to those in the trade. Yet non-medical friends assure me they were much amused, so I guess the jokes were not too intramural...
