...impossible for any group of undergraduates at Harvard to voice the opinion of the undergraduate body as a whole. The Crimson, however, believes that it is representative of a much wider range of student opinion than that expressed by its own membership in desiring a revival of those occasions on which Harvard and Princeton undergraduates are freely thrown in contact with each other.

Politicians and members of the enlightened upper crust of Filipino society make large claims of their ability to manage their own affairs, while the Administration forces maintain that the bulk of the people are not sufficiently advanced for such a move. Imperialism, no matter how a country begins upon...
