...disastrous policies. And if the vote were always the true recording of the individual's real interest, parties would be made up entirely of classes; and single groups, social economic and political, would always vote as units since their interests would be individual. However, there hardly seems to exist at present any such unanimity as to what to constitute the real interests of the majority of classes.

...purpose of the Orals is good, but as they exist today they are a joke among those who have a little reading knowledge of French or German and a post to those who have none. In my opinion the Orals should either be abolished or made sufficiently difficult so that the original purpose--that of requiring every Harvard man to have a truly adequate reading knowledge of either French or German--is thoroughly carried out.
