...noon on Memorial Day, a service which military and patriotic organizations in Cambridge beside the University public attended. The service of last year will be long remembered. His experience of war made him an eloquent advocate of peace. His own self-sacrifice, with his high patriotism, pointed his appeal for our national participation in the solution of world problems. On the following morning, he was too ill to take his turn at the Chapel.

There is a significance in his words, however, which though lacking in immediate appeal reflects a fundamental American educational problem. It is the fact that President Lowell was talking to school masters and giving them a little of the cool, hard headed advice which has begun to have its effect in institutions of higher learning...
