...both seem to think it a joke, or think nothing about it. But mere thoughtlessness cannot explain it away, nor can it be given as an excuse." These men should be reached by Mr. Lunt's summing up of a true and remarkably well-written article--by the final paragraph in which he suggests that an attempt should be made to realize what Harvard would be today if the Union were non-existent. "The Union," he adds, "has taken so great a hold on us that no one can understand how Harvard students of days before the Union...
