To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I read the communication in yesterday's CRIMSON, concerning a Harvard Triangle Club with a great deal of interest. I do not think that solution of the problem lies in the joining of the Hasty Pudding and Pi Eta shows, because the aims and interest of those two organizations are so radically different. And besides, each of them has its special field, just as does the 47 Workshop, the Cercle Francaise, the Italian Club, and the Harvard Dramatic Club. Let them continue their work as at present, each in its own way. It is a good thing, because it gives Harvard a diversity along dramatic lines that is not equaled by any other college in this country.

Now as for a Harvard Triangle Club, we have the basis for such an organization high here in the University. The Harvard Dramatic Club does in a less efficient manner and shorter space of time exactly what the Triangle Club does at Princeton. The reason it has not gone on tour is that it is a smaller group of men and unlike the Hasty Pudding and Pi Eta, it seeks to run on a profit and loss basis.

But there is no reason why the Harvard Dramatic Club should not become a more active organizations. If it secured the interest of as large a number of undergraduates as the Triangle Club has and spent three months instead of six or seven weeks on a production, it might rank above the ordinary run of college dramatic clubs. It has already achieved marked attention on account of its ambitious programs. All it needs is enough support to take it to more distant fields. And it has the added advantage of being a common rallying point for all undergraduates. This the Hasty Pudding and Pi Eta could and should never be.  WILLIAM E. HARRIS '20.
