However, one must, with the opposition, remember that laws and orders created to effect minor goods often effect major wrongs. And in a country where the balance between state and nation is so preeminently necessary to maintain one wonders just how far the president is justified in causing the existence of one more centralizing power. The question of states rights was fought over in the Civil War. It was not decided. Nor will it ever be. One can only hope that common sense and a respect for the status quo will keep the states from confusing the nation...
During the first week of the next Law School year, the Society will maintain an information office at the Phillips Brooks House. This practice of maintaining an information office during the first few days of each school year, which was inaugurated some years ago by the Law School Society, has proved of the greatest benefit to men entering the School from Colleges and universities other than Harvard.

That a need exists is proven by the very fact that the appeal has gone forth; our University asks for money not in order to have it, but to use it, to keep abreast of the times, and to maintain her primacy in education. To whom shall our kindly mother turn in her need, if not to her sons? Shall we be outdone in loyalty to Harvard, and in giving to Harvard; by those on whom she has less claim, those whom she has not fostered? Hardly so. The idea of the Harvard...
