...sow the seeds of civil discord, why involve the whole United States in a controversy through these innocent Princetonians at a time when peace is ensured on every hand? Besides, this ill-advised action gives excuse to the more irresponsible portion of the press for a facetious excitement. "Harvard rushes to support baggy pants of old Nassau," headlines the New York Evening Post, a singularly careless statement and one showing that these breeks did need braces if a venerable and sister institution of learning really had to do this.

In speaking of the younger generation, Mr. Burns said...

Men who have transferred to Harvard in good faith are unfortunate but users of the "back door" method of entrance are simply reaping what they sow. President Lowell's solution, which is being taken up by the Committee on Admission and the Administrative Board, and which seems the best possible, is to treat the transferred student with one year's college work, as a regular Freshman. Many individuals have tried this plan and under it have...
