With the publication of its fall number the Hound and Horn has announced that it is no longer a "Harvard Miscellany" and that now, after three years of development, it will become primarily "a magazine devoted to the arts and letters" with nothing more than a geographical connection with Harvard. In stating that the title has been changed because it misrepresented their intentions, the editors appear to be either pulling the wool over their eyes, or what is more likely, trying to pull it over the eyes of its readers.

Several years ago the magazine was started by a number of Harvard men who felt that there was a place, unfilled at the time, for such a publication in the University. Three years have been sufficient to show that Harvard as a whole did not really care about the Hound and Horn and at the same time that Harvard could not produce the material that the magazine wanted. The fact that their circulation has been to a large extent outside of Harvard and that practically no unsolicited contributions from students have been sufficiently good to merit publication, combine to prove the truth of this contention beyond a doubt.

In view of these considerations the editors are certainly justified in changing their policy, but in attempting to give the impression that this change was effected because the title "Harvard Miscellany" "misrepresented" their intentions they certainly appear to be sidestepping the real point.
