Whatever substitute is adopted, the present system is doomed and must go. It is impossible to maintain one's intellectual integrity while reading only one side of a question, and most economists, sociologists, and historians represent only one side of the problems which they treat. The handling of the history of the American Civil War, to cite one instance, has till only very recently been replete with prejudice and bias, fictions and mistakes, merely because most of the men who dealt with the subject were Northerners, incapable of analyzing events and trends truthfully.

At this time, the works of some living French artist of note will...
...understanding between the administrative officers of the College and the editors of the CRIMSON than I seem to detect from the course of the two series of articles published to date. The devilish difficulty of undergraduate journalism, as viewed from the windows of the college offices, is that to maintain intimate relations is a labor of Sisyphus. Annually the officers roll the stone up to the top of the incline, and the next autumn they must start to roll it uphill all over again. My final proposal contains machinery for putting some of the burden for these intimate relations upon...
