...President Butler, is taken in the report to the American Association of University Professors by its Committee of Three, on academic freedom in wartime. This was to be expected. The report would have profited by making itself a closer parallel to the pronouncement from Harvard, which is the best considered statement on the subject that has appeared. In contrast with it, the report to the University Professors has the effect of avoiding the most difficult kinds of cases and laying down platitudes for principles.

...repetition of last year's successful course if not an improvement on it. We have believed that a combination of university corps into an all-college camp would have brought even greater advantages than a more local one, but the contrary decision of the military authorities has provided the best possible basis on which to organize a camp which will be Harvard's in name and fact...
