...mournfully skirled the subversive "Internationale." Miners from the boarded-up coal pits of Wales, shipwrights from the silent Tyneside, locked-out weavers from the Midlands arrived with some show of spunk and morale, but the weak & weary contingent from Henry Ford's plant at Dagenham (now working at a fraction of capacity) were a disgrace to their comrades. Exhorted to parade around Hyde Park, they squatted down as soon as they reached the greensward, exerted themselves no further than to join in chanting the British Hunger March. Chorus...

Wells '33, tossed a pass from the 45-yard line, which was caught over the goal line, after the final, by E. K. Salls '34. J. F. Ferriter '34 then added the extra point. G. T.

Accepting this definition of education it becomes impossible to maintain that Harvard educates any but a small fraction of its undergraduates. The majority of graduates have benefited in many ways from their four years here but they have in no way changed or added to their "spiritual experience"; what they have done is to crystallize a set of habits and a group of confused ideas into a makeshift...
