With the announcement of the editors that the "Harkness Hoot" will not be published this year, another colorful chapter in the history of Yale undergraduate publications comes to a close. The course of a radical publication at Yale follows a definite tradition, inevitably ending either in conservatism, extinction, or both. The "Hoot" has chosen the more consistent path...

Europe again offers a solution, a way out of the wasteful "three-legged" partnership between scholar and dunce in their race for a degree. Aside from the vociferous backing of the Harkness Hoot, the two-degree system has attracted many prominent educators. If a more intensive and expensive curriculum is to be established both in courses and tutorial work, for the scholar nucleus; a less-arduous life might well be planned for budding lawyers, doctors, businessmen, clubmen, football coaches, and future unemployed...
