Communication

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The editorial page of the CRIMSON has always been to me particularly interesting, and, whenever I see that there is a "Communication," I turn to page two with more than usual zest.

That queer communication which appeared Friday gave me a complex of feelings, however. In addition to its amazing construction, and its refreshingly original grammar and punctuation, this jovial missive presented a viewpoint on University affairs which is, to say the least surprising. It barks back to a type of thinking prevalent in those dark times long before the University was founded. Men in those days beat their wives conscientiously, since that was the easiest way to work off unpleasant emotions. Nowadays we have the newspapers, and "Communications".

If it were not for the subject Mr. Sinclair's communication discusses, I should regard that sprightly letter as an attempt at humor. The phrase, "have I not studied the Roman church for centuries past," I consider masterly in its own way.

But it is not funny when a man talks the way Mr. Sinclair does about a religion that comprises many distinguished alumni and members of the faculty of this University among its numbers.

I would suggest that Mr. Sinclair continue to attend the Harvard Yale football games, but I think it would be advisable for him to begin studying something else for a century or so. It might help.

And, by all means, let him join the Ku Klux Klan.  A. E. FISHER '24
