...played no insignificant part. Never did young men go forth more willingly at the call of patriotism than at that time and in that crisis of the nation's fate; and Harvard was not among the last to sustain and strengthen the martyred President of our Republic at his post of danger. It is therefore all the more surprising that last Monday should have passed by with no proper recognition by the College authorities; and we pause to ask if this implied neglect of public and patriotic duties be a wise and judicious thing.
