Adams House, named in honor of the family that has contributed so much to the development of Harvard and the nation, is composed of two buildings of the former Gold Coast connected by a third section built several years ago as the culmination of the House Plan. The most centrally located of all the Houses, it fronts on Bow Street, one block from Massachusetts Avenue...
...reference to your article in the CRIMSON of March 20th, in which you stated that "The Liberal Club voted last night to join in the anti-war strike which the National Student League will stage on April 12th," may I point out that the anti-war strike, as well as being sponsored by nation-wide organizations, is locally being "staged" by the Continuations Committee of the Armistice Day Anti-War Conference?

To Milton the man he is bluffly antipathetic, regards him as the arch-heretic...
...better abandon our dream of a warless future, and revert to the limited objective of 'peace in our time.' With such an end in view, we may still turn for counsel to the pre-War system. At its worst, it was less dangerous than a paper facade, which no nation trusts or fears. At present, it seems, nations which should trust are dominated by fear, and those which fear are emboldened. The peoples of the world seem at times to resemble a crowd in a small room, in the center of which one or two lunatics are playing with...
