...editorials of the second issue of the Harvard Critic express the same apologetic point of view as those of the first. "We know that this is poor stuff, but then this is Harvard, academic, in different, intellectually moribund Harvard; what can you expect?" Once more the editors cry out for someone with something...
...managed to say themselves. A total editorial force of eight has produced two book reviews in the last six months, and nothing else. To be sure there has been the editorial column, filled with announcements, and two windy manifestos about the deadness of Harvard and the need for the Critic, but further than this criticism is wholly negative.

An unidentified man stopped at the stand yesterday and, after inspecting the publication, asked for the names of Harvard students connected with the Critic, and questioned Felix as to why he would sell such a magazine. The man intimated that prosecution might follow...
