On paper, the Cadets have the edge, but nothing short of the meeting on the field of battle tomorrow will decide the better team...
...accused of disorderly conduct, rioting, etc. On the contrary, I argued against such intervention by the "authorities." What I did advocate was, that liberal-minded professors, such as the members of the American Association of University Professors, should exert themselves as citizens to help wrongfully accused students secure a fair trial by the competent public authorities...
