WAR MEMORIAL PLANS.

In due time there will be created a memorial in honor of all the Harvard men who have laid down their lives in the war; but the Junior Class intended to do more than give to this larger monument, by donating a smaller memorial for the members of their class who have been killed. A gateway has been determined upon by the Class of 1920 in the belief that it will be a small personal tribute that will serve as a tangible monument until the ultimate large memorial is erected. The Class of 1920 is to be commended on their splendid enterprise, but other classed should not rush to follow this pioneer example, because such general action would detract from the memorial to all the Harvard dead that will be created.

A series of articles discussing various plans for the Harvard Memorial is appearing from time to time in issues of the CRIMSON. A different plan is set forth in a communication in the Alumni Bulletin, which proposes that the Harvard Endowment Fund be changed into a Harvard Memorial Fund. But such a plan seems undesirable for it would commercialize the spirit of commemoration which should be the key note of the final memorial. Time alone will determine whether any of the plans under consideration will be selected, but the CRIMSON will be glad to publish any criticism or any new suggestions that may be submitted.
