...application for the charter was made by various professors and students of the University, with the suggestion that membership in the Post after its establishment be restricted to persons connected with the University. Col. Logan, however, ruled that no restriction of this sort would be advisable and accordingly the charter was issued without any restrictions as to membership.

And if the League can ease the tension here by acting as a sort of shock-absorber, protecting at the same time the property rights of France and the personal rights of the inhabitants, it will serve another interest no less important than peace, namely, the cause of justice. If the League is not ready for this test, it is certainly not ready...
