...class of 1918, young in the ideals of this University, there can be no better time of explaining what "Harvard" means. Harvard stands for moral, spiritual, and intellectual independence in the formation of one's convictions, and, above all, for the fearless maintenance of those convictions. The call to duty of the class of 1918 is not to be based on attendance at Chapel; it is to be based on the appeal to each individual member of the class to live up to his own honest convictions, be those convictions what they...

The great advantage of the Conference is the fellowship which results from the mixing of men from different colleges who have a common interest...
...moral of the sketch "Discretion Is--" were followed, the verse in this number would be dismissed with the observation that verse is, after all, a matter "de gustibus." The criticism that is here made may be taken for what it is worth. The success of the first piece seems to be marred by the clumsy way in which the lines are broken up. The second piece does not escape the conventional either in spirit or form, and the last piece leaves us with no clearer impression than that the author has indulged in sentimental fancies. Judged even by the usual...
