...lonely. Because somebody doesn't pull them out of their solitary state, they conceive the University as composed of but two classes, snobs and grinds. They forget that the men who come out on top started, in many cases, on the same level as themselves. They become cynical and profess to believe that the ordinary undergraduate is not worth knowing, that all he can talk about is athletics and parties. But in the hearts of every such man lies the feeling that he would exchange all his wisdom for wide friendship among his fellows...

No loyal citizen who sees and understands that fact can possibly favor a strike in an essential industry, when the Government stands ready with its agencies and machinery for the adjudication of all disputes. To refuse to submit to such adjudication is to profess a lack of confidence in our Government.

Neutrality is a policy befitting a government in an official capacity, but not a sentiment which the individual can arbitrarily assume or profess. Our spirit of loyalty must be felt within and without the College itself, co-operation is as valuable in ideals as in business. Boston papers are daily publishing articles, seemingly unrelated the one to the other, rather contrary to the Harvard spirit of open-mindedness, and tending to destroy some...
