To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The class of 1920 has voted to have a gateway erected in memory of the fellow members who have lost their lives in the war. Such a decision seems to me altogether inappropriate. Would it not be much better for a class to recognize the heroic sacrifice of their fellow members, passing resolutions to this effect, and by sending them to the bereaved families of these men? The erection of a memorial gateway, will only be establishing a precedent, which will very probably be followed by other classes, thereby duplicating the idea that is to be expressed in some great university memorial, which alone can be worthy of the splendid spirit of sacrifice shown by Harvard men.

After all, it is as a member of Harvard University rather than as a member of any particular class that a man wishes to be remembered. May the class of 1920 revoke its decision, which seems hasty and ill-advised, and save their funds for a common contribution towards the great university memorial that will eventually be decided upon.
