There should be gratefulness in academic circles for the clarity with which President Lowell has now spoken out on the ever-vexed issue of freedom of speech in the University. On the one hand he has shown what is the new disadvantage that must fall on a college which seeks to exert an actual censorship of the opinions publicly expressed by its professors.

They are going to represent Harvard on the field of battle, following the footsteps of the Plattsburg vanguards, and we hope to meet them all when our turn comes to join the colors...
