Some of Mr. Flinn's other points fall to exhibit the convincing power of his first statements. He says that a lack of common sense was shown in suggesting that our obligation to the American soldier ceased at the signing of the peace ternls.

Good student guides and plenty of them are needed. The college has not lacked them in the past and should not now, especially when the rate of pay has been raised. A man who acts as guide assumes a responsibility. He should be able to interpret Harvard life to a stranger--not only by telling about the ages and uses of the buildings, but by giving him first-hand the part of the college life which can't be put into books.

The general promotion of education is being helped in both instances. This matter is primarily the college man's business. A great part of the system for which he stands was violated. From him, and from his alone, must come the first steps in wiping out the crime of the twentieth century barbarians...
