To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

As editor of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin I have received three letters from a group of young graduates and instructors bitterly criticizing the CRIMSON for not printing communications which have been sent to it on the condition of the Advocate and on the CRIMSON'S own course in holding the Freshman class up to the reprobation of the College. Though I have declined to print these communications in the Bulletin, on the ground that they did not deal with matters of alumni interest and concern, I believe it would be unfortunate if any members of the University should be permitted to entertain a just resentment against the College daily for closing its columns to reasonable expressions of opinion on College matters. In the present instance I would not undertake to distinguish between just and unjust resentment, reasonable and unreasonable expressions. If the letters addressed to the Bulletin had criticized that journal and not the CRIMSON, they would probably have been printed without any such analysis. As it is, may I suggest that the CRIMSON would do well to reassure its readers, both by word and by deed, that it remains an open forum for the discussion of undergraduate affairs? The printing of this letter would perhaps be taken as an indication that it holds such a position. M. A. DEWOLFE HOWE '87.
