...should like to thank you. I hope that your interest will continue, for there has never been a time in this country when the universities more needed the confidence of the community. We have had to make drastic reductions in our budgets and still face an uncertain future. To maintain our strength we need all the help we can procure. The money which is collected each year by the Harvard Fund Council is of great value, but most valuable of all is the long list of names which signifies your approval and support...

Consequently, what is more logical than that this class should make every attempt to maintain their system and to this end attack the President on every occasion?
