The well-known reply of Mark Twain after reading his own obituary might well be repeated by Owen Wister. In truth both reports "were grossly exaggerated." Also the fact that the noted author is a former members of the CRIMSON board made the "story" of his death in Saturday's issue partake somewhat of the humorous. However, we leave it to our valued contemporary (with which Mr. Wister was, we are told, "affiliated") to smooth out the crumpled galley sheets and draw thereon a lively cartoon. We would suggest some appropriate scene from that best of Harvard College tales. "Philosophy 4." Nothing would convince us more surely that Wister is still, fortunately, very much alive.
