...Lloyd, or any other undergraduate ask for the time of any professor outside his office hours (which no one ever knows) and he will soon see why our Faculty are called the "Vanishing Wonders." As for personal contact with professors, either social or scholastic, it simply does not exist, except in a very few noteworthy cases. The University teas (stiff, unnatural functions that they are) are never largely attended. As for professors, only two or three, in the writer's knowledge, hold regular recep- tions where a student can come, listen to what is said, and answer for once like...
Without doubt there is a wealth of possible point-winners in College, if proper pressure could be applied to force them to come out. There are coaches on the field ready to aid men in every possible way. A track management and a graduate track committee exist for the supervision and development of track teams at Harvard. In other words Harvard has raw material, an adequate plant, and skilled workers, but cannot turn out the finished product. What is the matter with the track team...

Our history and government courses have done no good, if they have not convinced us that we must take an active interest in public affairs, or our political...

...loyal American wants war when an honorable peace can exist. At this critical time the President is backed against the wall by the insidious perfidy of a foreign nation. He is not overwhelmed by telegrams demanding war, though millions believe that it is the only honorable course to pursue; he is swamped with peace appeals from well-organized German and "peace at any price" societies. The nation knows that Woodrow Wilson will not declare war unless it is the last resort. He should be left unhampered by the doubtful exhortations of pacifists. If Mr. Wilson decides that we must have...
