...does, the country as it is today, is unintelligible to him, and the men, the battles, and the issues of fifty years ago mean nothing more than names to him. At Harvard there is no one course that presents an intelligent, comprehensive and non-partisan view of the conflict, that induces a point of view which the Northerner and Southerner can hold together, that can inspire patriotism and at the same time not awaken partisan feeling. Without such a course an ignorance flourishes which not only shuts men from an interesting topic of conversation, but also dulls their patriotism...
...sufficient. It cannot be claimed that the war is too recent to be fairly treated. So far as we know, the only objection is that the Faculty does not want a purely war course, that it does not want to give war such importance. If this had been a conflict in a far away country, in a far away time, such an objection might be valid, but under the circumstances it is worthless, for such a course would not be a mere history of campaigns, and even if it were the military interest would not be uppermost.

If all concerned would rather have the Freshman game played in the morning: the Freshmen so that they can see the Dartmouth game, the rest of the College so that they can see the Freshman game, and the public so that they can see both, and incidentally increase the Athletic Association's receipts, should the one objection still determine the policy...
Such far-reaching agreements are evidence of a great increase in the community of international interests. An arbitration treaty will not of itself stop war,--it is merely an indication of public sentiment. Since the beginning of time there has been scarcity and consequent conflict of desire among men. The savage thought that a fight with his fellow was the only solution of the problem, if there was but food enough for one. At present two civilized nations think that war is the only solution, if there are sufficient foreign trade markets for but one. The present propaganda for international...
