Harvard students and Harvard instructors need a Library reading room from which they shall not be driven at sundown every day of the college year. The need is nothing new. Two years ago a petition signed by nearly every student of the University was presented to the Corporation asking to have Gore Hall lighted by electricity.

The Jews have been in the front rank of commerce and culture ever since they were driven from their land by the Romans in the first century of the era; they have shown, as they have shown today a surprising power of accepting and pushing the ideas of the people among whom they dwell. It is by the combination and interaction of great national cultures that...
