...editorial which said "Freedom of conscience is one of the principles for which Harvard has always stood." So far these youthful gentlemen have no fault to find. They continue by stating the steps that the University has taken to safeguard free speech in general and this Freshman in particular. But they are not satisfied with these. For no apparent reason that we can see they come to the conclusion that "The incident brings out very clearly the subjugation of College Administrations to the moneyed interests." Perhaps they would like to see the College Office organized as a committee of public...
Drawn to France by the war, Americans in general and college men in particular have learned for the first time the opportunities for broadening study and advanced research offered in her ancient schools and universities. There is reason to believe that not a few collegians who first landed on her shores equipped with "tin hat" and rifle intend to arrive next time armed with "mortar board" and note-book.

I hope that the undergraduates will give very careful consideration to the opportunity which is now extended to them by the generous...
Seldom has a conflict of great minds, such as that which occurs in Symphony Hall tonight, taken place with no specific subject for discussion previously announced. If, as now seems likely, President Lowell and Senator Lodge intend to discuss the particular problem of the Covenant of Paris rather than the general proposition of a League of Nations, a more valuable purpose will be served. Even the opponents of the present draft admit that a league of peace, under whatever name, is theoretically desirable, and that popular opinion demands some organization for the future prevention or limitation...
