...Harvard men should be ready to defend their ideas and their college institutions against those of men from other colleges. Silver Bay offers just such an opportunity for the submitting of Harvard standards, principles, and ideas to the tests which other colleges may wish to apply to them. The spirit of friendly rivalry and competition is felt throughout the conference:--in the athletic games, in the discussion groups where present day problems are considered from the Christian point of view, and in the social relationships.
