To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
May I second the motion that we invite a professed non-radical to "mouth his doctrines"--is that correct--at Harvard. May I also suggest that when a speaker as interesting as Mr. Humphries is found to sustain the other side, we refrain from attributing to him unpopular sentiments about American government; from indignant letters demanding his suppression; from veiled editorials suggesting that he is "not the sort of man"; from abusing him indiscriminately as a "subtle propagandist" and a "credulous sentimentalist;" and from the argumentum ad hominem generally. Apart from any question of courtesy or dignity, this sort of thing is an insult to the intelligence of the University. If a man is lying to call him a liar is a waste of time which might better be devoted to establishing the truth; if he is telling the truth, it is a waste of energy. SYDNEY FAIRBANKS IL.
