The Collegiate Review

In the lead article of the inaugural issue of the Collegiate Review,
John B. Oakes, Senior Editor Emeritus of the New York Times, speaks of
“whist le-blowing":

As the social, political, and economic
structure becomes ever more remote and
more complex, it becomes increasingly
difficult for the individual to maintain
his freedom and even his individuality.
This is why it's more necessary than ever
to speak out and speak up. Each of us,
in short, has not only the responsibility
but the obligation of becoming a whistle-
blower.

It is in the interest of speaking up and speaking out that the Collegiate
School begins in its three hundredth and forty~second year to publish the Review.
The editors are interested in articles addressed to particular contemporary
issues, some of which initially will have been addresses given at Collegiate.
Most will be written especially for the Review by members of the community:
faculty, alumni, parents and, occasionally, students.

Articles need not be encumbered with scholarly impedimenta. The editors
assume that writers will do their homework. The Review holds no bias regarding
fields of interest or political philosophy. We wish to publish material that
views the question at hand, that challenges the community to which it is addressed,
and that may suggest original solutions to the problems of our age.

As a school Collegiate has as its.first responsibility the sound training
of young people. A part of that charge is an additional responsibility to enrich
and inform the school's entire constituency. The Collegiate Review will serve
both as a journal of discourse and as a record of discussions of issues within
the school. To that end the editors welcome submission of articles. We offer
the: resources of the school and the staff's limited but sincere help with any
essay.
