...Student Council and the CRIMSON are to be congratulated upon the stand they have taken in regard to student waiters. It has been pointed out that the employment of student waiters would make it easier for many men now in the College to work their way through, but even more important would be the effect on the position of Harvard in the coun- try at large...

For I neglect any mention of fortifications which we have or might build, as being perfectly useless in repelling an invasion. We must realize that we owe our present and somewhat false sense of security to England's navy, but England...
