Harvard tends to be so sure that what it is doing is right that it ignores the publicity angle of its actions and allows itself to be grievously misrepresented. The result of such a policy is to seen in this week's papers, with all the politicians and patriots in full cry after the Red menace, and all sorts of organizations passing resolutions against the college. It cannot be denied that in Massachusetts at present there...
