...Irish cause has always commanded sympathy in this country, and not without reason. But there is no need for our representatives to allow their emotions, either sympathetic or political, to lead them to such extremes as this. From the practical standpoint, the Mason bill would be of no advantage either to this country or to Ireland. The cause of Irish freedom, with which so many of us sympathize, would suffer more harm than good from the presence of American diplomatic and consular officials.

You have all been through the war experience, and you men are going to have a tremendous influence in building up a national policy. I hope you will hold on to a safe policy.

Harvard University has sometimes been misjudged by the ignorant or the feather-headed as a community where unessential are too highly regarded; experience of years and the cool impartiality of the record alike lead to the conclusion that at Harvard there is a valuable freedom from self-consciousness rather to be envied than decried. Too many undergraduate bodies--and too many persons long outside the academic enclosure--are so keenly concerned lest somebody else think lightly of their actions, that they neglect action for stodgy speculation. Before now, Harvard has had good ideas which she was not afraid...
