THE PRESS

To the Editor of the Herald:

I hope that such editorials as appeared in the CRIMSON the other day do not have the effect of making the public believe that that is the belief of every student in the university. . . . It is merely a publicity stunt that they feel is necessary when their glorified bulletin begins to sink into the throes of oblivion. A picture of the editorial room of such an institution at the aforementioned promise of oblivion is one in which all the responsible writers gather to see what criticism will have the most far-reaching effects. You see, I am really excusing the action of such a designer, because of his blindness to present conditions, and his love of seeing his article quoted in other places than his end and means the beloved CRIMSON. . . .

I can think of nothing more harmless and yet inspiring than a parade which shows their belief of the President's policy which no one can say is not aimed at the most sincere end. . . .

Thus all I can hope to do is show that such ridiculous criticism is really only a "publicity stunt" on their part, and in the future all readers will regard such articles just as we would a communistic periodical. . . .And, too, we must excuse the act, since it is just a time in these young men's lives when their glandular secretions in their brains are slightly abnormal, and they are not fully responsible for their actions. . . .
