CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Dec. 20, 1895.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

We as members of Harvard University, recalling the spirit of patriotism manifested by our predecessors on every occasion of need, believe that the present aspect of our foreign affairs is so hostile to our national interests as to warrant some expression of feeling from Harvard men.

The intense war-spirit now manifested in our treatment of foreign affairs seems to us a menace to the welfare of our country and to her high stand among the civilized nations. We assert that it is a duty entailed on us as citizens of the United States to do every thing in our power to oppose the war-spirit so rampant now. We therefore suggest that every member of the University, whether student or professor, write a personal letter to the senators of his state and the representative of his district, deprecating the warlike policy indicated in the President's Message.
