...heading of "Correspondence" must not be understood to be those of the Editors of the Crimson, even if no comments are made on them. It is the intention of this paper to be as far as possible thoroughly independent of society feelings while dealing with this subject, and to open its columns to any and every contributor. The letters speak for themselves, and are the best sources from which a clear idea of the present situation can be obtained. What definite action will be taken, it is impossible to predict at the time of writing...
...accordance with this resolution, the room of the club, No. 19 Grays' Hall, will probably be thrown open within a short time to such students as may wish to subscribe. In the room, which will be open day and evening, will be found numerous books of reference on artistic subjects, and particularly upon subjects connected with the Fine Arts courses in college.

...great questions of philosophy. What is culture to me? I spend my time in playing cards for beer, and lately General Schenck has almost become my patron saint. 'Fine clothes and cigarette outside,' the writer in the Advocate says. There is one thing in my favor; I am not open to the fine-clothes charge, - though for a very good reason. But then I have smoked enough cigarettes to counterbalance that. I must reform. I will begin immediately." And I laid out plans for extensive readings on deep subjects, and determined to be a diligent searcher after truth...
