...time to every student whether or not he shows enough interest to join. Its internal affairs must remain the concern of its members. This is why, under the new plan, the Undergraduate Committee in charge of administration is very properly elected by the members alone. In place of the old series of four appointed committees whose personnel was without responsibility's the members, the supervision of the club will be henceforth in the hands of five undergraduates who are responsible to the men who elected them.

...arrests without warrant. If we do not want to supply "martyrs" to the radical cause, it behooves us to use clean methods in fighting it. If the immigration authorities are giving the "benefit of the doubt" to the accused, they are only acting in accordance with a tradition as old as the Anglo-Saxon race.

But Phillips Brooks House does have other functions besides finding strange room-mates for even stranger Freshmen, and bothering us with printed questionnaires which would make the War Department green with envy. It possesses the main qualification of a "true Bostonian,"--to wit: a High Moral Purpose...
