The general run of manuscripts submitted to the Harvard Critic recently has been of such a petty nature, that the editors last night declared that the next issue of the publication might not appear until next fall. On the other hand, the magazine may be on the stands soon if a large enough number of satisfactory articles are submitted immediately.

Although many articles have been sent in recently, few have been of any pertinent interest, and the others have not been worth publishing. Some of the most intelligent men in the University have written on such subjects as the conversion of the chapel into a hockey rink, and the establishment within the University of an institute for the dissemination of birth control devices. There were also some saner subjects discussed, but they were purely limited in interest and related to the author's own particular field. Among them was one on aesthetics in a communistic state. The editors in general have been surprised at the lack of interest by men in college on such important topics as vital college problems and issues of world importance.

In the next issue, when it appears, there will be articles on both the college tutorial system and the commercial tutoring bureaus, dealing with the competence and limitations of each. Newton D. Baker, Clarence Darrow, and others have written dissertations on the relation of college training to public service. Various other articles, both by students and professors, are under consideration, notably one being written at present by Dr. C. J. Friedrich, lecturer on Government.
