Such a course, taking up the history of the movement, explaining its various forms, and criticizing the remedies which it proposes for present day problems, should be able to transform the great amount of loose talk on the subject, current among undergraduates whose enthusiasm is perhaps greater than their information, into profitable discussion. The danger of Socialism in the hands of the masses is great.

This cessation of social endeavor is not due ordinarily to any loss of enthusiasm, but rather to the fact that the opportunity in a strange community does not present itself. The organization which Mr. Cutts will head will point out to every man interested his opportunity to help his fellow...
