...pleasant to note, at this critical time in our country's history, that there are still among us some men who can view the situation with "thoughtful deliberation." We learn in psychology that the purpose of thinking is to beget action. For two years Harvard has been considering the international situation with "thoughtful deliberation." The time for action has come. Those of us who are intrinsically unpatriotic have let that action take the form of joining the R. O. T. C.
