A Good Answer

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Mr. Rice's condemnation of the policy of the Military Science Committee in asking Harvard to champion the cause of universal training seems somewhat unwarranted. To ask a College like this to remain silent on such an important issue is to deny it one of its chief functions. It is to the colleges above all other institutions that the country looks for opinions as to our military policy; for it is the colleges who will be called upon to share a good portion of the burden should universal training be adopted. Therefore, Mr. Rice's analogy that colleges are not heard from on such questions as woman's suffrage and intervention in Mexico scarcely holds on the matter of universal training.

I do not know how Harvard feels on this subject; neither does Mr. Rice. Let us hear what Harvard has to say and not ask her to play the part of a clam. JOHN V. SPALDING '20.
