That the closeness of college requirements broaden a man's views and prevents stagnation is also a new idea. It never yet had that effect in any college that ever existed; and, in the case of Yale, it has not broadened its view of the world, but only aggravated esteem of self. In this "closeness" we can indeed trace the origin of "Yale enthusiasm" which shows itself in bullying smaller colleges and in ungentlemanly annoyance. No one objects to this self-complacent near-sightedness of Yale except perhaps some of her progressive alumni. Certainly Harvard men should not, for they...

Without continuing this discussion further, Dr. Hale must know, unless he misunderstands us more than even his letter would indicate, that to nine-tenths of us a compulsory service is utterly distasteful and wrong.
