A Friendly Word From the "Magazine"

(The Crimson invites all men in the University to submit signed communications of timely interest. It assumes no responsibility, however, for sentiments expressed under this head and reserves the right to exclude any whose publication would be palpably inappropriate.)

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The board of editors of the Harvard Magazine appreciates the courteous editorial of this morning; and the clear delineation of the place of the "Magazine" in the world of college publications as conceived in it. We regret, however, that parts of the editorial have been subject to, what we trust is, misconception on the part of the student readers. Especially is this so in respect to the relations between the Harvard Advocate and the Harvard Magazine. Like Mr. Allen, Mr. Auslander, and the CRIMSON; the "Magazine" cherishes Mother Advocate, recognizes what a difficult position she is in, and has not nor does now wish in any way to disturb her, or attempt to displace her. On the contrary our attitude is friendly, and we sincerely wish the Advocate success in the straight and narrow path which she has had, the courage to choose. Its editors have shown spunk and sand by sticking to her well known and traditional standards of high literary merit.

The Harvard Magazine is making and has made strenuous efforts to provide matter of genuine interest to every student at the University, matter which would not have been circulated in any other way. Its ideal is to interest the entire college community by unusual editorials, articles of interest, and popular stories. Sincerely,   The Harvard Magazine,   DAVID HALL,   Managing Editor.
