...national government are so intimidated by the clamor of a small minority of our population that they undertake to censure Admiral Sims for his recent speech in London, by revoking his leave of absence, and demanding an explanation of his statements. Granted that his remarks were a trifle indiscreet, and that they offered offense to a certain racial and political element in this country; what of it? Admiral Sims was speaking as a private citizen, advancing his own ideas on the matter, and it is inconceivable that the Navy Department should punish him for so doing. If his words...

...that their privileges are being violated. Undergraduates are not apt to accept with any degree of grace, dictation from their alumni, believing as they do that they themselves are reasonable beings and can institute reforms if reforms be needed. The undergraduates of Harvard have already had a taste of indiscreet graduate interference in the matter of the disputed Colombia race and the dose, to say the least, was not palatable. In the same way the Yale seniors will probably resent any interference in their society system...
