tinued, the reputation of Harvard in
the educational world would be seri-
ously injured. If IL were not accepted
the legal and political battle, which
the university administration wishes
to avoid, would be forced upon the
institution"
DR.. Mather and some so professors
and teachers took the prescribed oaths
with reservations, which the Attorney
General ruled unacceptable, and, in
effect, dared the State to do what Ii
would.

last Legislature at the insistence OF
veterans organizations over the unitec
opposition of many Massachusetts, edu-
Gators. provides no penalties.

Labels of Our Beliefs Changed in Value.
(Daily Olympian.J

The labels which we use to describe various human activtes-such words radical" "con- servative," progressive" and are useful things since they to classify intangbles in handy card-index manner
 The interesting thing about them, however, is the fact that their value changes from year to year without knowing it.
 President Roosevelts address to Congress is an example
 Half dozen years ago this speech-calling, lit did, for network of old age pensions, unemploy ment insurance schemes, collective use of certain natural resources, and the addition of 3500O00 to the Federal payroll-would have sent shvers up and down some millions of honest American backs.
 Coming when it did it rather generally accepted as middle of the road" venture. Many people even saw it in swing to the right.
 The old labels which we attached to such projects a few years ago have lost their meaning and that has happened simply because have moved out from under them
 Consider another example: The recent campaign speech of Premier R. B Bennett of Canada which called for "an end to the reckless exploitation of human resources and the trafficking in the health and happiness of Canadian citizens"
 Premier Bennetts program, in its essentials, seems to be more less duplication of President Roosevets It calls for unmployment insurance revamped old age pension plan, insurance against sickness and accident, income tax laws to cor rect unequal distribution of wealth, and system of minimum wage and maximum hour laws for labor
 Now the point right here, is not whether the voters of Canada give MT. Bennett a mandate to put thus scheme into effect, retire him and give someone else chance.l'It is the simple fact that a Canadian Premier, like an American President, has advanced program which would seem startling y radical if it had been suggested as recently as 1928. N# SE ErTs
 What has happened, of course, is that our view point has changed under the impact of the blows dealt by the depression. We no longer look at things we used to; and before we pin any more labels proposals, we would do well to examine the labels carefully and if they mean the same things that they used to mean We have simply moved out from under our favorite figures of speech.
