Dissatisfied students tend to criticize what they consider to be the banal predictability of news content and the limited viewpoint of editorials. An explanation of SCROLL policy will perhaps produce better student understanding. Any critic must first acknowledge the fact that THE SCROLL reflects the polices of the school administration. Freedom of the press can exist only when those who are exercising it can be held directly responsible for their actions; in the case of THE SCROLL it is the school which bears the ultimate responsibility for anything the staff puts into print. Because Deerfield is an institution which de- pends heavily on outside support, an understand- ing of the school and its purposes by outsiders and a publication which can produce this under- standing through balanced, perceptive, and im- partial reporting are essential. It is this need which THE SCROLL attempts to fill. If this paper were a private publication cir- culated only among students, criticism and de- bate would be a legitimate part of its content.

A U.N. Visitor's Appraisal

Editor's Note: One of the visiting diplomats has provided an evaluation of the weekend's activities and of the Academy. In the accompanying letter he remarked, "I hope it does not sound too much as a sermon. It really was a pleasure and good fun, our visit to your beautiful school . . . .Thanks a lot for all."
