...midst of the congeries of flaws, errors, and disagreeable but unavoidable institutions which distinguish this and every other University, Harvard possesses one minor atom which comes close to glory it is the Eliot House night lunch. This facility has been a success from the start, and for that it deserves commendation. The students grumble over the conduct of History instructors, over the state of the walks in the Yard, and over the tarnished statue of John Harvard; they vilify their professors, and heap contumely on the unbowed heads of the goodies; of all the aspects of the College to come...

For him the Fascist movement is, wholly and unequivocally, an attempt to preserve Capitalism by violence. To support this view, he has outlined once more the lines along which the class struggle is waged, through "the century of the great hope" to the present period of frustration and despair.
