Certainly the University authorities are correct when they maintain that not everybody has a right to know all concerning Harvard finances. Very few could understand the entire system. But undergraduates should be able to learn more about their University's finances. The House Plan has exacted an additional expense and is a live issue among them. Why, for instance, should they not know the total expenses and income of the seven new dining halls in which they are eating? How is the money which the large room rents bring in distributed?

For the American standard of living, we have a comparatively inexpensive naval establishment...
...body's business but his own. Carried to an extreme, this argument is absurd. It is obvious that the College could not tolerate a man who has been definitely accused of murder during the summer vacation. But it is hard to admit that a comparatively minor indiscretion should concern any one beside the individual and such others as have been directly connected. It is no more the concern of a man's educational institution than it is of his home town chamber of commerce...
