...aren't so sure but what the undergraduates win the first decision for sobriety and realism. A nation should be able to look to its intellectual and spiritual leaders for moderating counsel to support, not destroy the neutral temper of a great nation, bent on staying at peace. We are inclined to agree with the Crimson that there have been notable failures in this respect. . . . We believe that the direct interest of the undergraduates makes them equal in importance as a pressure group to their teachers, for all their prestige. Boston Transcript...
