...answer to a brief and concrete question, probably the entire University would welcome a discussion or presentation of the Boer affair. Whether we should take active steps towards making the University an irritant to English public opinion is an entirely different thing. Some of us have been under the impression that the University has gained in prestige, because it has suc- ceeded fairly well in abstaining from head-long plunges into political questions, and that it has lost when it has attempted to mix in such matters as the Venezuelan affair of a few years ago.
