...Barnum Was Right," as originally written by Sherwood and Sears, was selected for production by the Hasty Pudding Club in 1917, but the declaration of war necessitated the temporary abandonment of the play. Sherwood, who was President of the Lampoon while in College, served at the front during the war with the Canadian Black Watch and was wounded and gassed in action. Sears was a lieutenant in the United States Navy winning the Distinguished Service Medal...
...want to protest first against a Harvard publication descending to such a low level of deceney as to attack a Harvard instructor in so personal and disrespectful a way. Vile slander such as the Lampoon has indulged in had better not appear in print, both for the sake of Harvard's self-respect and reputation...
...wish also to protest against the point of view the Lampoon expressed toward a man of so-called radical trend especially at this time when the tendency is, in attempting to crush all activities which lead to violence, to destroy that freedom of thought and discussion through which progress is achieved under our form of government.

...current issue of the Lampoon is aimed at the expulsion of an instructor in Harvard University. The grounds offered are that he teaches "Bolshevist" doctrines. It seems to me that an issue is raised here which is quite independent of either the individual or the doctrines involved. In the course of three and one-half years the writer has come to known and love Harvard as a centre of intellectual liberty so true that each man is privileged to associate with other men of every divergent view, and to himself acquire and express whatever views seem most reasonable...
