Thus all members of the University, both past and present, owe President Eliot a profound debt of gratitude for his clear understanding of their educational needs. And even though he may not be personally known to all of them, they wish him the greatest happiness on his eighty-fifth birthday...

Even the opponents of the present draft admit that a league of peace, under whatever name, is theoretically desirable, and that popular opinion demands some organization for the future prevention or limitation of war. But the real cause of the difference of opinion between tonight's illustrious speakers is the constitution...
