The spectacle of the Harvard Union apparently following a consistent policy of inviting military and naval men to speak under its auspices in an attempt to induce Harvard men to join the army, to undertake military or naval training, to support the present nation-wide campaign to spend more and ever more in chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of military efficiency, is indeed revolting.
