...daily proposes to "flight the Crime," we heartily wish they would start publication at once. That the College would not tolerate as its daily paper one which expresses such sentiments as those in the Harvard Magazine and others which the seething brains of embryo-politicians have brought forth, we are fully confident. The motive of self-advertisement is perhaps too apparent to make their threat bear weight. It will doubtless amuse Cambridge to see its youngest periodical attempt to attract attention to itself by sticking out its small tongue at the CRIMSON; and we can hardly believe that the average...
...certain inevitable causes of war existing in human society and inseparable from it, we do not know. What we, as college men, should give most concern to is, that war is a most irrational and barbarous method of settling disputes between states, and that we, as citizens in embryo of the greatest democracy of the world, should by striving for better government and better men to run that government, make possible the realization of the ultimate purpose for which this league was founded: the reign of law and the institution of perpetual peace...
Phillips Brooks House will take the place of the Y. M. C. A. in all the University's military and naval activities. As many of the embryo officers will wish to see their families and relatives before leaving for an O. T. C., the Phillips Brooks Touse is splendidly equipped as a hostess house. The experience obtained through running the hut for the Radio School will help Phillips Brooks House in maintaining excellent writing rooms with a plentiful supply of stationery, as well as comfortable rooms for rest and reading. Entertainments will be given regularly throughout the year...
...introduction into the plan of military training of class-room work, which is conducted in much the same manner as the ordinary College routine, has brought the embryo soldier back from the military cloudland in which he has been wandering for the past two weeks of uninterrupted drill. Class-rooms are something to which he has become inured by long training. Much as he may tremble on the field before the eye of the omniscent instructor, once safe behind the first-line trenches of a bench in a Sever Hall room, he feels himself master of his own destiny...
Books are barren things without breadth. The little urchin on the street selling papers to a thousand passing people is more deeply versed in human psychology than the college man of twice his years specializing in abstruse philosophy. He knows that all men are not selfish, as your embryo pessimist would believe, and that all men are not prosperous and well-fed, as the young college optimist would like to hope...
