The end is either a return to the balance, a reaction where the man reasserts his authority in the family, or anarchy. The paternal state, which tries to be Our-father-which-art-on-earth, is always accompanied by the loss of the subtle qualities of fatherhood in individual men. When patriotism becomes matriotism, nature and force reassert themselves in human affairs. Sympathy has been mistaken for the truth...
...feel that at last youth has overcome the system, has been forced to take a realistic point of view. With considerable reservation, this interpretation may be correctly applied to the present generation of college men.

It is difficult to propose an effective solution for a problem which has become an integral part of the nation's educational methods.

I think, for the CRIMSON or for anyone else to assume an amused and detached attitude toward the slightly ridiculous scuffle in Harvard Square. It is better for our self-respect to protest, instead of smiling when liberties which once meant much to us, are taken away...
...American people unite against this combine threatening their peace and their prosperity. . . . Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a dye fight, or a nitrate fight, or a rayon fight or a fight for European or Asiatic markets. No, it is a fight to reassert European, in reality German (the French and English have been duped) supremacy in chemistry and chemical progress and that means German military supremacy. . . . America will never join such a combine. . . . Enlightened American industry, enlightened American opinion and enlightened American legislation will not allow our betrayal...
