...Seymour, the first speaker for Harvard, commenced by saying that we undoubtedly need a merchant marine and a naval reserve. Subsidies, however, do not strike at the heart of the matter; they do not account for and remedy the differences in cost of constructing, operating and repairing ships under the American flag and under foreign flags. Even did subsidies offset these disadvantages, it would be at an unjustifiably enormous expense. Moreover, subsidies are a bad business and economic proportion, for they are only temporary and do not adapt themselves to changes in economic conditions, for there is no relation between...

Mr. Lippmann follows...
Doubtless the authorities feel justified in demanding strict attendance to the end, for according to the Catalogue, the vacation does not properly begin until Monday, and by that time all except the far-westerners will be at home. As a matter of fact no one can logically deny that the work of this term ends tomorrow, and it is grossly unfair to allow the Massachusetts men to begin their enjoyment at that time, while the rest are still in the throes of sleeping car inconveniences...
