Time, however, works changes on all things, including constitutions. Any notion that our troops would ever fight in European conflicts would scarcely have been foreseen a few years ago. Literal adhierence to any archaic stipulation may be legally correct, but it may be diplomatically wrong. Our prohibitions, where they are not to our advantage, should not appear to lessen an appreciation of France's gifts. The customary practice among our allies is to wear such medals, and we are expected to follow a similar policy. Let not Frenchmen think that we are indifferent to their highly prized rewards. Although...

...surges could not harm. Condensation is sadly needed. Mr. Putnam would voice the emotions of a Nietzschean Superman trying to behave like an Elizabethan gallant, with disastrous results. His Sonnet (the form should not be divided like a Petrarcan sonnet, into octet and sestet) is a rash venture into archaic realms. Mr. Sanger's "Children's Land," faintly reminiscent of the song that thrilled the Brushwood Boy, is mildly pleasing though not distinguished.

There are traditions and traditions, so called. Some of them are false. That archaic one that Freshmen should not smoke pipes in the street-at least we hope no Freshman, having resurrected it from stories of the past are foolish enough to consider it other than archaic--meant nothing. But that one which the united action of the present Junior class has boosted firmly on to the tradition shelf-Senior Dormitories-means more to the Harvard undergraduates than men who have not enjoyed its benefits can realize. Consequently the Juniors deserve the deepest praise for their action...

...sufficient cause for self-assertion; it was, however, no affair of the undergraduate world. Yet a contingent of those half-baked boys must needs side with the strikers, making stump speeches about the rights of man, and joining generally in the hullabaloo. They were unfledged Radicals. In more archaic times they would very deservedly have been horsed and birched. 'Untruss, young...
