Diehards who will not follow their more reasonable associates to Eliot and Dunster are responsible for a growing spirit of intolerance which is new to Harvard . . . Anti-pacifism, anti-radicalism, and anti-Semitism all were born in the Clubs . . . And today the best clubmen are virtually indistinguisable from the best...
