...reason is not far to seek. We have been getting our opera through foreign media--we have been subsidizing alien directors, conductors, and a thousand others to give us our music. They know their business, from their own viewpoint, at least. They know that once the fetish of opera sung in an uncomprehensible language is destroyed, their day is over...
...editorials, the CRIMSON has seriously tried to reflect the general opinion of University students, and where it has found that opinion at fault, or another viewpoint more valuable, the paper has ventured to guide thought into other channels. The difficulty in reflecting opinion in such a University as Harvard is obvious: there are a multitude of different ideas which cannot possibly be interpreted through one organ, some radically extreme and some doggedly conservative.

Nevertheless, the time now seems at hand for us to swing back again to a normally balanced viewpoint on the subject. In other colleges the tide is already turning toward a renewed preparedness for possible war. At Princeton men are already signing up, though slowly at first, for the Field Artillery Unit to be formed there this summer. Columbia has established a form of military department, in which Government instructors...
