...statement was issued last Friday by President Lowell, Professor Charles R. Lanman and Professor Theodore W. Richards '86 that the use of their names in connection with certain peace propaganda was unauthorized. A document had been circulated under the heading of a "Request of the Dutch League of Nations Committee to the Rulers of States, Members of governments and of Parliaments, and Delegates to the Peace Conference" asking them "to forget and forgive" matters connected with the war.

It remains for the people to interpret to modify or expand, and it is over duty as college students to prepare ourselves for the choice we must inevitable make. Whether we believe in President Wilson's ideals, or whether we think him and impractical dreamer...
...Nathan Matthews discusses the legal aspects and the educational results of the Harvard-Technology decision, and on a later page the legal document itself is reproduced. The feeling that, after all, the University is in even more healthful a condition than could be expected is borne out by Professor Munro's report of the winter term, especially by his paragraph on "College standards in war-time...
