Someday, we hope, a Harvard man who has been inspired with the real enthusiasm which Harvard gives so many of us will write his confessions, or rather praises, to contrast them with the views of H. E. Stearns '13 who has confessed in the current Forum.

It deserves commendation for its increasing success. One note of warning, however, the CRIMSON feels called upon to sound in the midst of the recent prosperity.
