TIME issue of April 27, p. 62, reports interestingly about Japanese Prince Takamatsu's visit to the U. S. Naval Academy* amnesty for refractory midshipmen* "First time in the history of the U. S. Navy."WRONG, TIME! When benevolent, generous Albert, King of the Belgians, visited the U. S. after the World War, he requested that the Academy's strict regulations of punishment be set aside the day he reviewed the regiment of middies.

They have taken Dunster and Lowell houses as criteria on which to fix the basic charge. These two houses had the pick of the University...
Those Harvard men who died fighting with the Allies helped win a great victory of right over wrong, else they died in vain. If war can ever prove anything it proves that the Harvard men who died with the Central Powers were defending a wrong for which they never should have taken up arms at all.
