(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 withheld.)

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The most conspicuous thing about this morning's CRIMSON was the relative scarcity of interesting of important news about University affairs. About two thirds of the front page is devoted to what you journalists probably call "World Affairs," but which I consider out of place in your columns. The CRIMSON has for years been an organ of student opinion at Harvard. It cannot successfully rival the Boston and New York papers (or even the Cambridge Sun) for news of international or national affairs. Any intelligent student wants to know more than the poor material offered in the CRIMSON on these matters. As for your articles on Norfolk, you simply do not know what you are writing about Your article is one-sided, shows an ignorance of the facts and real issues involved (which are not Hurley vs. Gill) and a most personal bias which is unworthy of and unbecoming to a journalist.

With Harvard undergoing one of the most radical revolutions in its long history, with changes taking place all around you in the University which will have would-wide significance in the field of higher education and with your student body "on the spot" as a result of the attempt to make Harvard University a narrowing and deadening center of super-intellectual infra-humans. . . etc., you write about Huey Long and Nawn, etc. As if we cared. Veritas.
