...wish to protest against such crybaby language from a Harvard graduate. The statement is not true, and even if it were, whining about it would only make people doubt its truth.

To the years of the war more sentiment naturally attaches than to any other period in the history of the University; yet students are apt to forget the significance of the tablets erected in Memorial Hall and the real closeness of their own connection with the men who are there commemorated...
