Dennett Speaks Strongly

(Ed. Note--The Crimson does not necessarily endorse opinions expressed in printed communications. No attention will be paid to anonymous letters and only under special conditions, at the request of the writer, will names be with-held.)

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

1. for one, would like to know what on earth persuaded you to give up your six-page paper. You appeared to me to have found for the first time in your history a constructive way out of the morass of bulletin-board take journalism which had characterized your columns in the so-called "golden-days" before the six came in. I am told that the progressive editors of your paper were over-ruled by the stick-in-the-muds who had retired from active work. They were of the opinion that an arm-chair sheet, with fat salaries and dull stories, was the more comfortable choice in the dilemma. Raymond Dennett '36.

(Ed. Note--It was decided that for the present, financial considerations did not warrant the larger paper. When fiscal conditions are sufficiently improved, the CRIMSON expects again to publish six-page papers every day. In the meantime, the majority of the features of the larger paper will be retained.)
