I hope that every man who can possibly do so will put aside study and private interests for an hour Monday evening and lend his moral support to the meeting of the United Religious Societies. If we, as a body of disinterested students can throw our weight on the side of peace and humanity there is no telling what good results will follow. Harvard stands before the country as an example in many things. Let every...
