...question is not whether everyone knows everyone else in the University. The question is whether the standards of intimacy are more strict or harder to overleap than at another place. It would be difficult to find any spot east of No Man's Land where no thought is paid to a man' s creed, his intelligence, or his breeding. If such a place were found it is a question whether we should care to go there. A man who has no standards of taste or judgement may well lack standards of anything else...
Among the undergraduate body, the thought of democracy is farcical, Men come to college at the most plastic stage of manhood, when it would seem they ought to be willing to accept a man at his own value--according to that man's ability, his intellectual vigor, his social capacity. Is this the case, or is there not rather a wide gulf between those who live in the little frame houses in out-of-the-way streets, and those who inhabit the gold coast; those who make the clubs, and those who don't?

...must be said that in view of all that is passing in the world, the contributors to the current Monthly seem somewhat strangely "untouched by solemn thought."

This statement by Dr. Hugh Cabot, the leader of the present unit, is not aimed at disparaging the great medical and surgical value of the units to France. He rather emphasizes the point that through the work and sacrifices of these units the Allies have been brought...
...many of them have been ready to rush into the headlines at every opportunity, forgetting that the dignity of their profession calls for soberness in thought and restraint in language. Harvard has furnished some conspicuous examples of this indiscretion on the part of teachers to whom our national declarations of neutrality seem to have meant nothing whatever. This may be due in part to the fact that college professors are usually men of strong convictions and in part to the fact that not a few of them have a kindly feeling toward Germany by reason of their years of study...
