...theologically a liberal and have no sympathy with the emotional piety that often masquerades as religion; but if any idealistic conception of God must be classed as "narrow" and "sectarian," and if any religious purpose must be suavely generalized; a priori, as impractical, I beg leave to register a protest. That sort of stuff is as narrow and dogmatic on the liberal side as the narrowest dogmatisms of the seventeenth century--and much shallower; and what is vastly more important, it does not represent the position of hundreds, perhaps of thousands, of men in this University.

...Rhodes Scholar I wish to protest gently against some of the suggestions of the editorial entitled "Rhodes Scholars Old and New." That "hitherto American Rhodes Scholars were not a great success at Oxford" and that the "Yankee" at Oxford has not been truly representative of the best that America can produce, are two assumptions which I doubt if you are entitled to make, however little I may be in a position gracefully to repute them.

Then we conservatives, who, through some inexplicable idiosyncracy, still cling to the principles of our Constitution, feel bound to protest...
...sensible; and the remarks on the comparative failure of Harvard to develop an internal democratic spirit are worth the attention of the whole College. The two outstanding contributions are those of Professor Hack and Mr. R. C. Rand. In reality, they are complementary; for they both constitute a needed protest against that evasion of initiative which is regretably characteristic of the present era in the American college. On most of Mr. Lamont's effective plea for the Endowment Fund I am estopped from commenting; but I would like to point out how vital is the appeal lie makes...
