...thinks the cause of peace at all worth while can be honest with himself and at the same time belittle the difficulties which lie ahead. Peace is essentially a state of mind. Its progress among civilized nations today depends upon enlightenment in simple self-interest. It devolves upon every man who has seen the futility of war and felt the imperative need for some constructive organization to take the place of brute force, to constitute himself a perpetual centre of propaganda and education for others. Only thus can knowledge of the basis of international relationship penetrate from...
...Union have Home Rule? By this suggestion the CRIMSON means that those most active and interested in the Union should control it, and not those who hold office largely to swell the size of their "life" in the Senior Album. This consideration should be borne in mind at the Union polls today. What sort of sundries bring the total for "Miscellaneous" expenditures...
This is only further evidence that, as the CRIMSON maintained in a recent editorial, students do not know how to study.

If the institution is ever to be lastingly improved, it must be by those whose hearts are in the work, not by those who join because...
...strength, energy, talk, and publicity which is to go into the military camps could be used for fighting the causes of war, how much better for this and every other country and how truly patriotic such work would be. If the undergraduate mind all over these United States would realize this, we should have a compelling force that would be sure to accomplish great things. You deserve the thanks of all for bringing this to the attention of Harvard undergraduates. C. P. ATKINSON
