The Improper Spirit

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Your editorial yesterday entitled Senior sluggishness was very much to the point. We have heard so much about Harvard indifference and Harvard spirit lately that we have nightmares about it all. We have also seen contradictions: there is no such thing as Harvard indifference. "The committees are begging and pleading; so are the coaches and the captains, not to say anything of the Instructors. What's the matter? It Isn't Indifference, it isn't sluggishness, it is what the old Saxon king called "the I-don't-give-a-damn spirit.

You suggest the remedy: let the Class Day committee have enough courage to leave the delinquents out and merely write their names in the front with a suitable explanation. If they can't do a few little things for the success of the Class Album, What's the use of having them in? HECTOR LAZO '21,

March 30, 1921.
