...unjust. If there have been ears to hear there have been complaints aplenty, and no good can come from the over-optimistic view that everything has been of the best in this best of all academic stunts. What Lampy has tried to do is to show this as a link in a chain of policy, the policy of withdrawing from active interest in the undergraduate element at Harvard to concentrate on the more esoteric functions of graduate study and research. Whether or not this is a sound conclusion is a question for careful reflection...

Mr. Russell's beliefs hold; however, for the rest of the United States, which are still unconsciously guilty of this crime against international good will. In the mean time there will probably be few who see in a similarity of tongues the seeds of an approaching Armageddon...
