...Harvard must necessarily have come as the result of a feeling that there was something wrong, something lacking under the existing state of affairs. It has been said that the Harvard of the present is more a state of mind than anything else, a very apt description in view of the existing lack of anything which might be termed social organization. Every student gets what he can out of Harvard; very little attempt is made to help him.

Holding that the original concession had not been destroyed, and therefore that its arbitration machinery remained valid, they pointed to Article 90. It plainly provides that if one of the disputant parties shall fail to send a representative to the Arbitral Board then a unanimous decision of the Chairman and the representative of the other party shall be binding upon both disputants. This was the unanimous decision of two that the German and the Englishman made last...
