Well, as far as we know, we are the only ones in Harvard College so youthfully idealistic as to be interested in the "Liberation of manhood theme," or in the failure of two Anarchist Wops to secure a fair trial. Surely, we are the only ones doing any careful thinking, for, as yet, the Crimson has failed to touch on the real issue: "Was or was not the leading article true...

On this latter ground the fanfare of student voyages, international Schools, and even the schoolboy correspondence in French, find a justification. Meanwhile the position occupied by Harvard in foreign eyes, offers to a much greater degree the opportunity for utilizing such contact. With this in mind the University should take a certain pride in playing a part, even if subordinate to the local Rotary Club...
