Communications

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The committee on the Class of 1920 Memorial Gate begs to submit the following letter as indicating a difference of opinion from that expressed in a communication in the CRIMSON last week. 1920 MEMORIAL GATE COMMITTEE.

"I am very glad to hear that your class is contemplating the creation of a gate to the College Yard in memory of the men of your class who fell in the war. Bit by bit the Yard is being beautified but much remains to be done, and I can think of no more fitting nor permanent memorial, of a modest but apt sort than the addition of a monumental portal to the Yard fence, now so nearly complete. Of course we all hope that the alumni will create some single splendid memorial to the memory of all Harvard dead in the great war, but I should be unhappy to think that the prospect of this should discourage the creation of individual memorials on a smaller scale, so priceless for their intimacy and the personal feeling to which they testify. I wish you every success in your undertaking.   G. H. EDGELL.
