(The Crimson invites all men in the University to submit signed communications of timely interest. It assumes no responsibility, however, for sentiments expressed under this head and reserves the right to exclude any whose publication would be palpably inappropriate.)

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I hoped that I was addressing a somewhat acute audience when I wrote, in a recent communication on psychical research, "The criticism of the CRIMSON'S editorial is therefore not that it attacked the spiritistic hypothesis, . . . . , but rather that is clearly showed that it was very far from being conversant with the subject which it sought to judge."

From this it ought to be apparent; even to the most obtuse, that a reply to the communication on psychical research must necessarily defend the indefensible ignorance of the CRIMSON on this one subject at least; and I hasten to suggest that this is not likely to be done by one who is so dull as to "understand that Lodge, and all others seriously interested in the study, place very small importance on the phenomena produced by mediums!"  SYDNEY A.
