To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Harvard University stands for loyalty and fair play more strongly today perhaps than she ever has. It is necessary she should do so in a period as confused and prejudiced as the war has brought to us. Neutrality is a policy befitting a government in an official capacity, but not a sentiment which the individual can arbitrarily assume or profess. Our spirit of loyalty must be felt within and without the College itself, co-operation is as valuable in ideals as in business. Boston papers are daily publishing articles, seemingly unrelated the one to the other, rather contrary to the Harvard spirit of open-mindedness, and tending to destroy some of our internal loyalty between the Faculty and the student, or perhaps within these respective groups themselves. The principle of fair play is fortunately very prominent here in Cambridge. These articles which appear to have sprung up like mushrooms over night and without visible origin or reason, have a quality of feeling rather than of fairness. Whatever purpose or result they may have, we undergraduates should maintain the important consideration of loyalty and respect towards our professors, more worthy than the rash acceptance of uncertain insinuations.
