...Crimson has several editorial columnists, who are given space for a bi-weekly column. Though some columnists are also Crimson editors, most are not. In selecting columnists each semester, the editorial board attempts to select a broad range of themes and opinions. Columnists are asked to focus on a particular issue; common topics include Harvard undergraduate life, national politics, and education policy...
Sometimes, the editorial board actively solicits particular pieces for the page; other times, we publish pieces that are submitted to us unsolicited. In any case, signed pieces do not necessarily reflect the views of the editorial board.

Accordingly, we eagerly print letters of all stripes. Though we often will print letters from professors or other authorities in a particular field, we are especially interested in the views of students and other readers...
