With no further reference, then, to the "Harvard Illustrated," and referring to the present case merely as a recent instance of a regrettable thing that occurs from time to time in American colleges, and not more at Harvard than elsewhere, I am led to one or two reflections, concerning the realization in college life of a thoroughly sensitive and discriminating loyalty. The least relaxation of this spirit on the part of any member of a college group may lead even inadvertently, to such serious misapprehensions...
...present instance, firstly and least importantly, I have been put in a false light. Not the "Harvard Illustrated," but several daily newspapers have printed such a jumble of statement and misstatement that their readers will hardly avoid the conclusion that I, when about to withdraw from Harvard, have proceeded to "foul the nest". Such an Insinuation is not less than monstrous.

If this is the heralded offensive, we welcome it as an opportunity to inflict great losses upon the enemy and to bring about a new alignment in the West which may well permit successes for us in the near future. If it is but a feint, we will continue to be watchful for the time when the German lines may feel the irresistible force...
