...number includes three pieces of verse, only one of which contains anything remotely resembling even lukewarm tar. Mr. Rickaby's sonnet about the clash and reconciliation of his Muse and his Love, though smooth enough, is cloyed with pale pink, saccharine sentiment. Mr. Nelson's "Early Frost" is skillful work on a mighty theme; but its figures, although effective hints in themselves, are too familiar to be easily coordinated into a single, sharp effect. Mr. Murray Sheehan's two sonnets on "Fate," however, bear more clearly the stamp of vitalizing human experience. One feels that Mr. Murray is saying something...
...second premise, that Hughes sentiment in the University is "pronouncedly militaristic and pro-Ally," whereas in the rest of the country it is pro-German, is less than the pro-Greman, is less than the proverbial half-truth. If by militarism he means an adequate state of national preparation against the calamity of war, then he is right.

That is a fact so patent that it scarcely needs statement...
...have taken the liberty of summarily stating what impression I have thus far received of the grounds for Hughes sentiment in the University. And in fairness I now add the statement that I am intellectually anxious to hear any real arguments for Republican victory this November that any reader of the CRIMSON will undertake to present...

Neutrality is a policy befitting a government in an official capacity, but not a sentiment which the individual can arbitrarily assume or profess. Our spirit of loyalty must be felt within and without the College itself, co-operation is as 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...
...result of the voting at Memorial Hall ought to be regarded as more significant of the University's political sentiment than the verdict of the ballot box at the CRIMSON Building. Hughes' plurality over Wilson at Memorial was only 90 votes. This indicates that the more intelligent vote of the graduate students gave Hughes a small plurality. Since the graduate schools show a wider range of geographical distribution, it is only right to regard their choice as nearer to what the final result will be in the National election...
