...fact remains, however, that Harvard must have a stronger schedule in 1920. Although it is true that injuries are more liable to occur in big games, nevertheless the moral preparation for the Yale game, both for the team and the undergraduates, far outweighs the physical objection. Not until this year's team had been given a taste of real football for one-half of the Princeton game did they find themselves. From then on nothing could stop them. Not until the undergraduates saw their team fighting to the last ditch at Princeton did they know what backing was. After that...
Herr Shuecking, German pacifist leader, characterizes the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles as a "tremendous moral victory for the cause of universal peace." Of course what the Herr Professor means is that it is a tremendous moral victory for Germany, in which he is entirely correct.

Certainly the rest of the letter adopts a very different tone. "Mobs will be mobs" it says in effect. "The writer does not apologize for the outbreak, but merely attempts to explain it cause. . . . only to be expected . . . . who can answer for . . . . No wonder . . . ." Moral censure is certainly an ugly thing, and one likes to see it deprecated; but such deprecation to be effective should be consistent. If Mr. Rosenblatt writes in this truly Christian spirit of the lynching, then the least he can say of the original assault is that criminals will be criminals; that, in view...
