1t may be that, notwithstanding the care taken
to slnnggle this learning into these doves, as
much apart as possible from the Harvard hawk,
Harvard has become SO demoralized by the
yonng men that the very ATMOSPHERE is to be
feared. Whatever it may be, the precautions,
as expressed above, don't tell very well for

perhaps, the strongest argument vet used for
the need that the College has for the softcning

Tue friends Of the movement argue that this
