...majority of discussion centered on a proposition to limit the number of activities a single student might engage in. The purpose of the scheme, similar to that now in operation at Technology, was claimed not to be the bettering of organizations or securing the participation of more students, but to be the improvement in scholarship of those already engaged in activities. The main difficulty with the proposition is that it is purely arbitrary. The speakers agreed that the several organizations would not be bettered, and that while the plan might induce more to enter competitions, scholarship would not be improved...

The new plan of concentration in a particular field of study, and the introduction of oral examinations in French and German seek to give students a rational scheme of intellectual work and the ability to transcend the bounds of their own language.

...effort has been made to emphasize the paucity of attention which is being given by Harvard men to the subject of arbitration, and to compare this unfavorably with the great sympathy which is being aroused for the development of a new military and naval program. This newly-proposed scheme to infuse greater activity into our army and navy may seem, at first blush, inconsistent with our declared policy of seeking a peaceful solution of international differences. If we were to examine the two pellicles in a vacuum, it must be admitted that they would appear diametrically opposed...
