...have been rash and impetuous in opposing our feelings to the well-considered opinions of President Lowell, President Wilson, General Wood, other prominent men. We may have been foolish to try to set the eager spirit of youth against the mature judgment of those who are in a position to know what is right. But with this same enthusiasm we do feel that after three years of college, during which time he will surely obtain the very best it can offer him, the average undergraduate should answer the call.
