...committee in charge is always willing to consider additions that will help maintain the boast that this is the best gentleman's library in America. Those who critize Widener for the absence of current works will find less room for criticism at the Union...
...true that the Glee Club has all the concerts that it can give and still maintain its high standard of performance. It is equally true that at present undergraduate support is not generally accorded the organization. But it never will be if the Club does not seem to desire that support. Two concerts in Cambridge, for students only, would do much to destroy any such impression; it hardly seems as if that were too great an addition to their already extensive program for the year.

...rich vein of victory, however, was immediately followed by a losing streak.

Harvard must always maintain the highest possiblt standard of liberal education; but it is crass provincialism for us to ignore the existence of other conceptions of a university's function. We fall in the quality upon which we base our pride in Harvard if we continue to think so lightly and remain in such profound ignorance as wt do now of the universities of the West. Unless we try to understand their efforts and problems we will fall equally in the service which we owe to the nation...
