An excellent editorial in the current issue of the Advocate declares future policy. Except for the complete absence of the so-called "skiing", type of article, the rest of the issue lives up to the self-advice of its editorial. There seems a sincere interest in "printing what the literary undergraduate has to say"; if there was any surrealistic or communistic bosh, it must have been concealed in the two or three poems and stories which we did not understand; without mentioning the inevitable and necessary (for purposes of contrast) dullnesses, the articles were stimulating without being, as the editorial feared, offensive.

But there was large room for improvement. Again we can turn to the editorial for a glimpse of whence it will come: "through frequent competitions to insure the influx of new blood into each issue". Mother Advocate will be doing a great service, playing a great part in the university, if she managers to stir up "new blood." No better method can be found than "frequent competitions."

The Crimson wishes Mother Advocate a successful year, but especially that she broaden the scope and variety of her contributors, and thus make herself the true patroness of Harvard undergraduate expression.
