These are some of the questions which suddenly confront us. Can there be anything more creditable to Harvard men than to think and speak on these matters without fear or favor? Is it not plain that nothing can more impede a rational conclusion, or more lower our dignity in our own eyes, than to approach such questions in a feverish heat, or to let professions of patriotism or savage praise...
...encroachment on Venezuelan territory; and Secretary Bayard wrote then "If indeed it appear there is no fixed limit to the British boundary claim, our good disposition to aid in a settlement might not only be defeated, but be obliged to give place to a feeling of grave concern."

What they are trying to get at now is what the members of the University actually think of the plan. The latter has been well stated by a graduate interested in the movement in these words: "We aim simply at giving a definite amount of convenience for a definite annual sum; we don't dream of manufacturing sociability; but we believe that if eight hundred or more...
