...wrath with which all France denounced what Frenchmen considered an outlandish Italian campaign suggested that 40,000,000 Frenchmen, almost hopelessly torn between Left and Right on internal questions, could really unite again when it came to defending La Patrie.

To bellow that Harvard has a desire to rule Cambridge, and that therefore it must, like some naughty school boy, be expelled from the community, serves only to show the political hue of the picture. The council's cunning brush is attempting to swab Harvard with such brilliant and tawdry colors, that beside it Plan E may look dull, important, and anaemic on the ballot...
