The policy announced by the Yale News in the editorial reprinted below is one which will meet with hearty sympathy at Harvard. It clearly recognizes that freedom and the ideal of a liberal education are the goals toward which the students of the Eastern universities must strive. It is far from radical; ardent reformers will criticize it for that reason. It does, however, offer a sound liberal program whose merit lies in the fact that it can--and ought--to be carried out.

What is particularly interesting to Harvard men is that many of its thrusts apply here. Removal of every possible curricular restriction, elimination of unintelligent extra-curricular activities, the obligation of political interest--all--are constantly the goals of those who seek a more liberal and intelligent Harvard. That the College should be the "raison d'être" of the whole University is the proposition that has bound thousands together in opposition to the vocational preeminence of the graduate schools.

That the last article can be read with the feeling that so much at least has been accomplished here is most satisfying. It fosters the hope that the immediate goals which the News has set forth can soon be reached. Freedom: liberalism--these are the ideals of the present generation of Harvard students. They are the ideals of the undergraduates of a great sister university. As there is strength in union of mind and purpose, so may there be achievement in this unity.
