ters written recenty to the Open
Forum are a tribute to that spir

some of them are more likely
evidences of nit-witted flourish
es at publicity. Why anyone
should assume that a mere ex
plosion of his, moralistic opin
ions upon the campus will drive
it to some desired action, we
cannot understand. Some of the
letters to the Open Forum are
to be commended, we think, for
their logic and wording. Others
afforded only a review of ele
