...heard Mr. Hughes present the request of the American delegation to Japan. A new understanding has come between the two nations. We don't want the Japanese to stay in Siberia and we have told them so in frank words that all the world has heard. We want the remnant of the twenty-one demands, not yet abrogated, to be repudiated and have told them that, too, before the world.

When a man intimates that our habits might be worse if we were nearer New York, or Philadelphia--or Sodom and Gomorrha--he makes a statement that reflects credit neither on his logic nor on his ethical standards. Surely there is more than a saving remnant among the student body who deplore with Dr. Eliot the lawlessness and indecency that characterize the conduct of many of the undergraduates at both public and private functions. No one present at the Senior picnic dare deny the truth of the morning journals' account that "although they didn't tell where...
