Colgate 'Cog' Cites Cambridge Coolness

"I was one of the ten thousand cogs in the Harvard machine, that highly efficient educational mill located in the industrial city of Cambridge, Mass.," Charles Edison begins in his feature on Harvard. Edison, a sophomore at Colgate, published his views in The Colgate Maroon on Wednesday. (Full text of Edison's article will be found on page 2 of today's CRIMSON.)

"Social life?--Oh, yes, Harvard has that:--Concerts and lectures aplenty. Surrounded as he is by girls' schools the Harvard man--and I use the term loosely--is less likely to get a date than is the Colgate man who views the 120 miles between here and Skidmore as commuting distance," Edison continues.

The Registrar's Office reports that Edison left Harvard after one term for "medical reasons."
