BETTER PUBLICITY?

Figures on the amount of money Harvard is spending on its construction program were released to the public press yesterday and are reprinted in today's CRIMSON. As far as can be ascertained, the release from University Hall represents the first attempt on the part of the present administration to gain the favor of the populace through the right sort of publicity.

To say that policy of the Lowell regime with regard to publicity has been ill-advised and unsuccessful is to express a platitude. And to expect that any true reform has been effected would be over optimistic. But the present case at least indicates that publicity is not being consistently ignored like a thing unclean as has been so often the case in the past.
