The last words of President Eliot's address last evening were: "When you were admitted to Harvard University you became members of an ancient society which has always been distinguished by a rational, discriminating, deep-seated, and ardent love of country and of liberty. I need not exhort you to be true to the traditional spirit of this place."
A fitting close to a speech so helpful to all who heard it, and one which none other could have given so clearly, so impressively! Thanks to such advice Harvard men today or in future days can face the question of enlistment with complete realization of their duty, and true to this traditional spirit choose the path of patriotism.
