In the latter instance, one may or may not get in, and one does not always feel welcome. Thus, our Chapel is idle, in so far as its prime object is concerned, twenty-three hours, or more, out of each twenty-four. This condition should not exist...
...prevents me right away from giving any of my really personal views on the subject of 'prohibition'. I don't feel a bit inclined to criticise your country anyhow. It isn't done, you know.

This is an object which Harvard men cannot pass by. One dollar given will keep a child alive for a month; ten dollars will keep a child until the next harvest. Even ten cents will be gratefully received and will help nourish one of the starving. No matter, therefore, how restricted a student may be himself, he can contribute his mite to those who need it most...
