...letters. It is too often the case that nothing but a bank account distinguishes the capitalist from the socialist. Justus Schwab says, "Shoot the rich man;" and the rich man says, "The public be blanked!" Ignorance is the only common bond between them, and that fosters their mutual hate. The poor men and self-styled reformers who met at Irving Hall a short time ago had for their motto "Ni dieu ni maitre," and their speeches showed that it was appropriate. They serve neither God nor man and know no master. Only education can reach them. They seem...
...general. We also hope that the knowledge by the faculty of the views of a large proportion of the students on the matter of professionalism as expressed at the conference by the president of the athletic association and others may be of use in bringing about a better mutual understanding on both sides.

There are many reasons why a plan like this or some modification of it might well be adopted at Harvard. A club formed among the students of San Francisco, from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, or from any particular state could be of decided usefulness...
...plans whereby the services might be rendered more impressive and less irksome. At the close of the service Wednesday, Dr. Hale took occasion to comment upon some features of the exercises and to suggest improvements in some minor details, especially urging upon the students as a matter of mutual courtesy, punctuality in attendance and greater decorum in abstaining from hastening away directly after the benediction. The chapel services at Harvard, he remarked, in point of decorum and impressiveness were not surpassed by any other similar service in the world so far as he was aware; not even...
