...course on the Russian situation is of particular significance. No other modern country is shrouded in such a veil of mystery, and in no other field is a thorough, non-partisan investigation so much to be desired. There has been found at present no middle ground on the question. Naturally a course on Russia at Harvard College will not dispel all the extremists, but it has two important contributions to make.

There is to be no distinction of rank between members,-a private is to have the same standing as an officer. Second, the convention voted, that the Legion should be entirely non-partisan. Although it may later advocate certain national policies, it will always attempt to remain out of politics. The third decision reached at the convention was that the membership of the Legion will include all men who served in the army, navy or marline corps of the United States in the Great...
