Resurrecting the "Harvard Monthly" from dormancy which has lasted since 1917, a group of students are planning to replace its name on the list of undergraduate publications. They expect to put out the first issue early in March.

Headed by Herschel Berman '38 and John Hay '38, the new "Monthly" board have as their aim the publication of a current review of topics interesting to the Harvard community, and will stress "readability rather than intellectuality." Articles will be printed not only by undergraduates, but by "Monthly" alumni who have achieved literary fame and other well-known authors will be asked to contribute.

The "Monthly" was founded in 1885, and included in its first list of editors was George Santayana '86, author of "The Last Puritan." During its career, many other literati have served on its board, among them John R. Dos Passos, Jr. '16, Robert S. Hillyer '17, E. E. Cummings '15, Bernard Berenson '17, and last but hardly least, Ernest A. Simpson '17, of Queen's husband fame.

The two initiators of the new "Monthly" have not yet crystalized their board, but held a tentative meeting of interested men last week. At this meeting, it was decided that no one would be elected to the board until after the first issue. Editors will probably be chosen from material handed in for the initial publication.

No headquarters have been established as yet, but Box 27 in the Cambridge Post Office is serving as a legal address. Contributions, suggestions, and applications for membership to the board will be received there.
