...definite statement, save that he is not surprised--an assertion with which I have no quarrel; he only implies by turns (a) that a lynching mob should not be punished by law, (b) that, apart from the question of whether they should be punished or not, they are normal citizens, acting from good motives. Both these doctrines seemed to me too mischievous to pass unchallenged; and I attacked them with arguments which he gives no sign of having read, and certainly has not answered. But when I read in his second letter of the "fundamental concept of emotional justice...
...guilt in the mind of the court, or else that circumstances existed of such a mitigating nature that the offense was deemed mild; this could not be were it a case of out and out attack. Is it reasonable to suppose that any man under normal circumstances, convicted of three cases of assault on women, would be given only a six months' sentence by any court...
...College registration shows a return to normal, after the severe drop during the war, but is still somewhat short of the record of 2582 set in 1916-17.

Since last spring the Association has resumed its normal program, interrupted by the war, and will open up new activities as circumstances may warrant. The Class Day Spread held last June for men who do not spread elsewhere was unqualified success. In the latter part of June sixty men spent ten days at North-field in conference with delegations from other eastern colleges. Brooks House itself was open all summer for the use of Summer School students, and magazines and writing facilities were provided for them. Twenty-five hundred Freshman Handbooks were printed and distributed this fall. The Information Bureau...
