I do not believe it is a wise policy to carry on the work of serious emergency relief with voluntary contributions. The system is as wrong as that of voluntary enlistment in times of war.

There is no danger that a situation will arise comparable to that which confronted Germany after...

Diverted for a moment from their cheery task of pillaging the Freshman till, the Bureau responds with a shocked innocence, that such things have always been, and implies that the pre-final period is a rather nasty time to bring it all up anyway. Meanwhile, cocking its ear towards the Yard, the Bureau professes to find a murmur against an intolerance so fatal...
