"I have received many letters from college men during my journalistic years," said Beatrice Fairfax of Lovelorn column fame in a recent interview with a CRIMSON reporter, "but many more from Yale students than from Harvard men. The only explanation is that New Haven is nearer New York."
Miss Fairfax went on to say that she had gone to Smith College herself but "was too young at the time to know what it was all about."
"My present ambition," she asserted, "is to become an authoress, but after 14 years of writing for tabloid journals I feel that my style is molded the wrong way. In the newspaper game everything is written in a hurry for people who read in a rush. After helping people for so long a time with their marital and pre-marital difficulties, I need help myself."
When asked what she thought of the scheme proposed by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Miss Fairfax said she expected to take up the cudgels against him soon by going on a lecture tour in opposition to Companionate Marriage.
"Judge Lindsey bases his theories on a false principle," she declared. "The family is the foundation of the state and as such should not have its ties weakened.
"The present generation is no worse than any other," she continued, "but should have protection from such ridiculous ideas as companionism. The spread of a doctrine of this sort should be nipped in the bud. It can be dangerous if allowed to go too far."
