"Only freshmen are crude and lack polish," volunteered a female member of the Class of '53. "The upperclassmen, I've gone out with are no longer green--they're quite ripe."

On the whole, Radcliffe is grateful to Harvard for being entertaining, attractive, and on the spot, but some girls found fault with the whole setup, and set down deathless criticism of their Crimson dates.

"I feel that the average Harvard man one meets in classes or blind dates is a pretty sad, crude, repulsive, and self-centered individual," announced one 'Cliffedweller. "Most are generally uninteresting," said another.

"Drips, egotistical, and with false superiority," a freshman commented, while a thoughtful senior stated, "If you take a random assortment of dates, the larger percentage is pretty hopeless."

"I didn't realize Harvard had such as inferiority complex," said a freshman, opposed by a sophomore from the same hall, whose experience had found Crimson men to be "conceited--on masse."

Other girls had more singular gripes about Harvard. "I've turned into a man-hater since coming to Radcliffe," stated a freshman. "With only Harvard men close at hand, we aren't left much. I wonder if they feel the same way about us."

The poor things are befuddled," said sympathetic Annex junior, and a sophomore remarked, "I wish Crimson men would come to the realization that Harvard isn't the only school in which an education can be obtained."

"Harvard produces men neithgood nor bad," said a senior, "but sort of an insipid in-between."

Perhaps the classic remark came from a freshman who answered the question, "What do you think of Harvard men as dates by writing, "Who wants to think when she's out with a Harvard man?"

Or perhaps you prefer the girl who exclaimed enthusiastically, "I think I'll marry one!"
