...result of its predecessor, "Castles in the Air." That there should be such a place as the "Cocoanut Grove" in New York is not surprising--all great cities have their "tough joints"; and there is always an audience that will flock in great numbers to such a production. The shame of this special case is that the "Cocoanut Grove" is patronized by those people who are supposed to be helping to set the standards of behavior and taste not only for New York, but for the whole country, and among these patrons are, inevitably, Harvard graduates and undergraduates.

...have naturally been dubbed pacifists. Nor does the name cause us shame. But the fact is that, as a group, we do not stand dogmatically for war or peace. What we stand for, above all, is a democratic and enlightened method of deciding whether war or peace is our duty.

Harvard's mistake, it seems, is in honoring the valor and self-sacrifice of her sons as Harvard men only and without drawing the line between valor that was pro-Ally and valor and devotion merely pro-German...
Teeming with good literature on live subjects, the current Harvard Graduates' Magazine's accounts of the splendid work done by alumni in the organization of military training camps must bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of University undergraduates who have winked at opportunities to enlist in the service of their nation. Discourses by General Wood and "1898" are the leading features of the December issue...
