...failed to prevent the loss of American lives on the Lusitania; we failed to prevent British bullying and piracy on the high seas. Had we made our principle of strict accountability clear and unmistakable before the Lusitania sailed, we might have prevented a great catastrophe, and moreover retained the respect of a great nation. Had we brought England to her senses by so simple an expedient as the stoppage of munitions, we might have prevented the pilfering of our mails and an insolent dictation in our private affairs. Thanks to Wilson's compliancy, we may soon find ourselves among those...
...valuable in ideals as in business. Boston papers are daily publishing articles, seemingly unrelated the one to the other, rather contrary to the Harvard spirit of open-mindedness, and tending to destroy some of our internal loyalty between the Faculty and the student, or perhaps within these respective groups themselves. The principle of fair play is fortunately very prominent here in Cambridge.

Ten great kings, each perhaps in his own way as great as Ozymandias, king of kings, were "scrapped" relentlessly by those moderns of long ago--scrapped in contemptuous fragments. Nothing more forever of Tirhaka the magnificent, of Tanut-Amon...
...particular contingent with which we were associated has undoubtedly had a better opportunity than any other previous one of showing what stuff it was made of, and it has in no respect fallen short of the standard which Harvard University may properly require of its representatives. Willingness, courage, tireless devotion and team play were here shown, and the whole credit for its success belongs to the members of the Unit...
