To the Editors of the Crimson:

May I enquire through your columns, why it is that everybody wishes to have the proposed religious building called Brooks House, rather than Phillips Brooks House? I know, to be sure, that our other buildings are designated by single names, but the present case seems to me to be entirely different. I do not think that I ever heard Phillips Brooks called solely by his last name. Even when he was Bishop Brooks, we all clung fondly to our "Phillips Brooks." In fact we knew only Phillips Brooks.

But not only to us has "Brooks" alone no meaning. Future generations of Harvard students could easily forget in whose honor-Brooks House had been named, but the Phillips Brooks House would always recall him who will go down in history as Phillips Brooks.
