Harvard has shown itself particularly active this fall with the Democratic Club's successful effort on the stump and the Republican Club's mast meeting and torchlight parade. The results of all the straw votes taken in the different colleges cannot be fashioned into a prophecy of today's result. Yet the apparent strength of Wilson in the Middle West in borne out by the vote of the colleges in that district.

On the slightest consideration it will appear that this is not true. Many of us are here for seven years or more; a great many more for four years, a period as long as millions of citizens spend in one town, because of the varying demands of the labor market and shifting business conditions. Men of Cambridge, we are interested...
