COMMENT

Speaking of the Liberal Club, the Campus has heard rumors from Cambridge, Michigan, California, New York, and elsewhere, that the modern college Liberal Clubs are growing contumacious. At Michigan, for instance, a number of students resigned as a protest against the suppression of one of the Liberal papers. And so the Campus pictures its own Liberal Club as a group of young, bearded Bolshevists, who, in the words of one in authority, "like all Liberals, can only see one side of the question." We might venture an opinion, here, that both the conception and the remark are unjust. The Yale Liberal Club was ostensibly organized for the purpose of discussion, in an effort to see both sides of the question. Of course no one knows what actually does transpire behind its closed doors. Probably a good many sacred things are slandered, for youth is naturally impetuous and ungentlemanly. But on the whole it might be taken as a healthy sign, especially as this club has kept its head well enough not to get mixed up in exaggerated free speech movements and socialistic idealism.
