...caption "Hitting Heresy at Harvard." The article tells the story of the hazing, the stand of the Harvard Liberal Club, and quotes the CRIMSON's editorial which said "Freedom of conscience is one of the principles for which Harvard has always stood." So far these youthful gentlemen have no fault to find. They continue by stating the steps that the University has taken to safeguard free speech in general and this Freshman in particular. But they are not satisfied with these. For no apparent reason that we can see they come to the conclusion that "The incident brings out very...
...improvement of his mind--the regulations laid down by the Faculty are rigid--but the question of exercise we leave entirely to his own volition. The Athletic Association deserves credit for having done all in its power to make voluntary athletics universal in the University.

It is the fault of Harvard graduates that their confidence in the Alma Mater's superiority never permits them to explain her advantages. But because her advantages are so well understood by them is no assurance that others understand. Harvard needs the southerner and westerner. Unless she is to dwindle into a local university she must recruit more of her sons from the great regions beyond New England. They bring a new point of view which stimulates...
