To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
With the annual preparation of the Freshman Red Book arises the question of the justification of such an expenditure at such a time. Though not in any way doubting the desirability of this publication under ordinary conditions, it seems to us that the money usually expended in this way could be put to a more beneficial use. While Harvard graduates are raising a ten million dollar endowment; while the committees for war relief in Belgium, Poland, Serbia and Armenia are in pressing need of funds; while the American Ambulance, of particular interest to Harvard men, could make use of unlimited financial aid; have we, in the face of such needs, the right to spend any amount on a work valuable only to ourselves?
