Once again the CRIMSON due to its usual haste and short-sightedness has failed to grasp the long-term significance of a project. I am referring to your editorial condemning the Corporation's decision to erect a new Varsity Club. In a high-handed journalistic manner you have stated that Allston Burr '89 had merely indicated interest in the project.

Pattern in Cloth. Adolph Ochs was a small man with an impressive leonine head, an even more impressive manner. Often arbitrary and dictatorial, he was also kindly, paternalistic, full of fun, and he had confidence in Adolph Ochs. Born in Cincinnati, he became a printer at the age of 17. At 20, he bought a half-interest in the Chattanooga Times for $250, built it into such a profitable paper in the next 18 years that he decided to expand...
