DEPLORABLE TASTE

The Mail

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I don't know why no one has mentioned this before or what good it will do anyone to have it said now, but I must confess to having been angry enough to want to see my complaint in print. What upset me was the wholley unwarrented treatment of the various religious groups in the Yearbook (317) References to magic and so forth in the article on the Christian Scientists, a flippant remark about money and parties in the one on the Catholic Club, and others, none of them worthy of reproduction, set a new high for bad taste.

I suppose that various Yearbook writers felt the need of jazzing up the copy a little, and, being inept, ended up with specimens whose low taste they were unable to perceive. Though I am not a member of any of these groups, I think this is quite deplorable. --Mark Jacobs '53
