...every concession to enable you to enter and serve in the cause of the nation. What difference does it make if the Faculty has done this if you do not stand by the Government. We have been criticized for going too far, for giving the students an opportunity to conceal 'slacking' and demoralization. The country is watching how you are standing up, and is asking questions.
