...Parker, Royce, and Muensterberg, and the resignation of Professors Taussig and Wendell. The latest loss is not the least. For by his sincere devotion to the cause of his nation, no less than by his declaration of allegiance to the United States, Kuno Francke has won the admiration of even the most intemperate enemies of Germany. He was the last active apologist of the German cause at Harvard, and now that he has gone, we shall miss the candor, the tolerance, the whole-heartedness, which he contributed to discussion...

...Senior Class Day exercises will be held this year as formerly despite the present situation created by the war. The 1917 Class Day Committee intends to make the event of even greater significance than has been the case in previous years, inasmuch as it may be one of the last occasions at which the class will be present as a whole. At the close of the war, it is argued, the Seniors will be widely scattered, and they may never be able to meet in a body again...
