...that they will do everything they can to "square" them with those who are in charge of the discipline of the college, while writing those authorities to stick to their guns. Sophomores have always shown an overweening eagerness to assume responsibility for the Freshmen's every act, but it cannot be said that their methods have the sanction of disciplinary experts. Why not draft the Faculty for the job? Since members of the teaching staff have time hanging upon their hands, this suggestion has found marked favor. The success of the arrangement varies with the professor. About all that...
...discussing these matters outside his classroom and in expressing whatever views he may hold on this or any other subject of current public policy, Mr. Laski is utilizing a privilege which Harvard has steadfastly accorded to all her teachers. As President Lowell declared some years ago, a university cannot exercise a censorship over the utterances of its teachers without accepting responsibility for everything they do or say.

Such sincerity and temperance of thought and speech in a labor leader as Mr. Plumb displayed in his masterly argument here cannot be safely or successfully met in these times by the utter repudiation of it as a "stump speech."

The latter claim they are forced to threaten with the closed shop. And what is more, labor has at present the public on its side. Capital, to win the people back, must in the very near future make a change...
...cannot be that the world is too small for both capital and labor to exist in it at once. The two are complementary. Fair and equable relations between them must be possible. During the war labor gave much; capital promised much. Now that war is over, labor, willing to compromise on many questions and expecting like concessions from the other side, meets, capital. But capital, which has swallowed far bigger pills in its day, refuses recognition of collective bargaining a principle under which it has been tacitly working many years. This principle labor cannot abandon without losing all for which...
