...refusing to interfere in any manner with the freedom of Professor Muensterberg, Harvard has struck a blow for the integrity of educational institutions in the United States. It is overdue. It should have been struck earlier, but unfortunately was not. It is no defence of other universities which have made muzzles and forced them upon the mouths of professors that they preached indefensible doctrines. The thing that is more indefensible than the teaching of indefensible doctrines is the use of force to prohibit the preaching...
...action which culminated in the formation of the American Ambulance Service in France. With the coming of the war it was realized by all belligerents that their sanitary services were utterly inadequate to the task before them.

...large numbers. Those who cannot compete on University teams have found a novel and strenuous way to bridge over the period between, say, fall tennis and Leiter cup baseball. These practical merits, confirmed by the excellent spirit of the spectators last night who evidenced neither a diletante "high blow" interest in athletics nor on the other hand an excess of violent enthusiasm insure the permanence of "the many art" as a College activity...
