The Monthly editorial referred to in this morning's communication, gives such a false impression of Harvard opinion that we feel called upon to deny absolutely its justification in the eyes of the undergraduates.

Its author fails signally in accomplisbing what he states at the outset is not difficult, "to define the really patriotic attitude for the undergraduate in the present crisis." Perhaps he believes that Harvard students feel competent to lay down the law as to the actions of the administration, or willing to support the nation with loyalty of a "possibly illogical nature." Perhaps he thinks the present Senior class will agree with him in his picture of the men they honored by refusing to withdraw their names from the list of Class Day Officers, as "scrambling for a landing in Cuba" under a "morbid impulse for personal excitement." Perhaps it is becoming for men who have been so fortunate as to receive the best education the country can give, to openly taunt patriotic fellow-countrymen by assuring them that their "loss by yellow fever will mean much less to the country than ours."

Enough of this, however. The communication deals well with the details of a mistaken and tactless editorial.
