MAGAZINE IN NEW HANDS
New Manager Says He Will
Continue Liberal Policy
Despite CommOtion.

magazine at Columbia University, of
a sketch purporting to be an episode
in the life of Christ and so sacri-
ligeous that it caused much shocked

incident, said university professors
last night.
Dean Herbert j.. Hawkes. said the
question of discipline was left entirely
to the student board and that the ac-
ton of the board was indorsed and
approved by the faculty.
The student board disciplined the
publication by demanding and obtain
ing the resignation of the editor-in-
chief, Whitaker Chambers, who wrote
the playlet under the nom de plume
OF John Kelly, and the reorganization
of the editorial board, laying down,
also the condition that the magazine
would be compelled to suspend should
any more material similar to the play
dpptdI III It's tOiuiuilo.
Several professors made statements
regarding the magazine to the classes.
among them Prof George C. d. ODen,
who declared that the sketch was the
most shocking thing that had ever been
written at Columbia. Prof. Algernon
Tassin told his English class that the
issue of the magazine looked as if it
were produced by boys
Akin to Frank Harris's Work.
The issue which caused so much COM
ment appeared on the Columbia campus
at 10 o'clock. on October 25, and the
whole edition Of 500 copies was ex-
hausted by noon. The article, while
likely enough an original effort by
young Chambers. showed that the
IIarriss Miracle of the Stigmata." and
in parts was extraordinarily reminiscent
of Mr.. Harris's work. 1t purported to
describe the third day of Christ in the
Sepulchre, before the Resurrection. The
greater part of it is so plainly sacri-
llgeous that ii cannot be reproduced.
1t ends on the usual undergraduate
theme--women.
But while many of the Columbia
profe ssors have denounced the playlet.
cne of them at least gave commenda-
tion. This was Prof Mark Van Doren.

The matter went to the student board
and on October %, two days after the
playlet appeared. the following letter
was sent TO the editorial board Of Morn
iH0side:
'At the meeting Of the committee APP
pointed by the student board TO regulate

Editor stands His Ground.

ft was reported on the Columbia
campus last night that young Chambers
was threatened with much severer
punishment than resignation. but that
he averted this by apologlzing to the
faculty. and admitting that he had been
foolish. and had made a mistake in
writing the sketch. This report, how
ever. was denied by Chambers, who
made this statement:
The author sees nothing irreligious
IN the play lie has no apologies TO
make: the mistake was made In sup
posing the time ripe for the publication
Of such play"
Stanley Hart had been made editor in
chief OF Morniitosido. and has said that
he intends 10 carry on the more or less
good work OF his predecessor. He said
that tho magazine is not anti-church.

thing. which will cause more shocks
