PROGRAM

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In response to the challenge that "more and more people are seeking a university education" be it hereby resolved that there be established a Society for the Contraction and Preservation of Harvard College, the broad purpose of which will be to protect the vested interests of those presently enrolled and to proclaim the motto that stone walls do not a prison make, nor ivy walls an education.

That the more specific purposes of this Society be:

To elect a President, Vice-president, Recording Secretary and Graduate Treasurer whose office it will be to inspect those buildings extant, and to determine which of those now standing can best be torn down.

To launch "a fund-raising campaign for the contraction of Harvard University" with the desired quota set at a round 100,000 dollars, with the stipulation that if this fund reaches its quota before that of President Pusey, it shall be declared the winner and applied as the Society has seen fit, that is:

To hire an admissions board which will be given to understand that the cream of any crop, to use an old saw, tends to rise upwards rather than to move horizontally, and that the entrance exams used in the 17th century (even) at Oxford University were recently discarded.

Further, that the date of January 18th at 4 PM be set as the launching date for the above said "fund raising campaign and etc." and that at this time, the President, Vice-president, Treasurer, Graduate Treasurer. Alumni Treasurer and Comptroller General meet with appropriate instruments to be designated hereafter, at the southeast corner of University Hall to commence the ground breaking ceremonies the order of which shall be as follows:

1. The receipt of two already promised anonymous contributions which will cover one third of the fund

2. The breaking of the ground and cornerstone of University Hall

3. The entrance and commencement of labor of those workmen afterwards to be designated who will proceed to:

4. Dig downwards, for in order to contract, or expand, the University must go down, if not bury its head and fail to recognize how deeply insulted we enrolled are by the suggestion that the University is not content with the present number. C.P. Sifton, General Secretary and Treasurer in charge of miscellaneous contributions.   Robert Cumming, Past President.   Fred Seidel, Chaplain.
