NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With this issue the CRIMSON opens publication of the annual Confidential Guide to several upperclass courses which has appeared regularly in the CRIMSON for the last few years previous to the date for handing in study cards.

This year the CRIMSON initiated a system of mailing a copy of the Confidential Guide to all incoming Freshmen containing reviews of all courses open to them. This pamphlet was mailed during the early weeks of September and was headed by a foreword by Delmar Leighton '19, Dean of Freshmen.

Foreword by Leighton

Dean Leighton in his foreword emphasized the fact that the information contained in the Guide was as valuable as that in the catalogue since it gave, what he termed the "dope" by men who had taken the courses and not by those who had given them. Several professors who have commented on the pamphlet have declared that they valued the Guide because it acted as an incentive to section men who were inclined to become careless.

The publication of the Confidential Guide for upperclassmen will continue in tomorrow's issue.
