A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

In response to numerous requests from graduates and Harvard clubs the CRIMSON is starting today a feature which will be continued in all subsequent Saturday issues--a weekly review of the news at Harvard. Together with the bi-weekly rotogravure the Saturday issues are being offered as a special subscription intended particularly for the use of Harvard clubs and graduates.

In the opinion of many officers of the Associated Harvard clubs and other prominent graduates of the University there has long been a real need for such a special issue, supplementing the Alumni Bulletin, and intended for the personal use of graduates and for distribution to secondary and preparatory schools by the local clubs, as well as for use in the clubs themselves. Such a need the CRIMSON proposes to satisfy, offering at the same time a medium through which the families of men at College may keep in touch with their sons and the course of events at the University.

The CRIMSON believes that the possibility of service to the University in the new plan has never before fully been realized. In helping to keep alumni in touch with events at the University and more particularly in giving to schoolboys an acquaintance with colleges in general and Harvard in particular, the CRIMSON feels that it will be performing a new and valuable function. With graduates and clubs it does not wish to supplant but merely to supplement the Bulletin. With schools it does not wish to proselyte but merely to give the schoolboy, accustomed to the lurid and often unintelligent reports in the metropolitan press of the country, a truer picture of the facts and events at a great university, which happens to be Harvard. It hopes that the day may come when every college newspaper of the country may have such a special issue for use by its graduates, its alumni clubs, and the great secondary schools of the country.

Innovations of a far-reaching kind must always progress slowly. In the present instance there will doubtless be mistakes and disappointments at the start. But the CRIMSON believes that it is adopting a plan which will at the same time broaden its influence and serve the University in the truest sense.
