...possible for the bulk of our nation to gain first hand knowledge of other lands. Therefore, it is the duty of people of education to enlighten themselves sufficiently to be intelligent leaders. Many people have an unfortunate conception of England as the tyrants that fought us a hundred years ago, as a greedy race of commercial rivals, and as a cruel despotism that refuses to "free" India and Ireland...

Your University has contributed very largely of its resources in helping the country to win the war. Some of her most valiant sons have given their lives for our country. To a history already full of glorious deeds, Harvard has added new glory to its record. Harvard University has always stood for the defense of American...
