To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Tourists home from Europe express their disgust at the sight of a cash register in operation at the entrance to the Cathedral of Milan. But need they travel so many miles to witness evidences of the abominable "new Barbarism?"

At eleven o'clock, Saturday, November 11--an hour and day most sacred in the memories of many of us--if you happened to be among those sons of Harvard who in their silence guard the entrance to the Widener Memorial Room you would have heard not only the musical peal of Cambridge Church bells. But, from the very interior of that beautifully impressive room you would have heard the incessant, mechanical click of the modern typewriter. Must this clerical work be done within an atmosphere that is the most consecrated on the University grounds?

May you., through your columns, bring this matter to the attention of the proper authorities. KENNETH D. JOHNSON, 2L. November 13, 1922.
