Harvard Does Not Fund Magazine

To THE EDITORS

Sarah E. Scrogin's item on Harvard Magazine's pending change of editors misleadingly states that the magazine "relies on the University for its funding" ("Bethel Resigns Magazine Editorship," news article, April 25, 1994).

While a University subvention does enable us to distribute the magazine to all domestic alumni of the Colleges and the graduate schools, advertising income and voluntary contributions from readers provide more than 70 percent of our revenue mix.

These traditional sources of funding help guarantee the editorial independence to which the article refers. John T. Bethell   Editor   Harvard Magazine
