Last June they merely felt "vital concern for the high academic standards at Harvard" and so thanked the Committee of Eight Prominent Faculty Members for their report on the famous Walsh-Sweezy case. This year the P. B. K.'s brief comment has lengthened into a closely reasoned indictment of University Hall to which the following paragraph is introductory...

The future--new kisses, new surroundings, new interests--is too remote to cool...
...with the 600 young men who don black robes and tassled caps this week. They make their last appearance as undergraduates. They pay their final respects to their beloved Harvard.
