ANTI-WAR FEELING DEPLORED IN LETTER FROM CLASS OF '17

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In an open letter addressed to the "Young Men of Harvard from some of the Older Men of Harvard," 34 members of the class of 1917, the so called war class, exhorted the under-graduates to remember that they must perform their duties as citizens.

The letter, found on page four, recounts the feelings of the class in going to war holding that their motive was not propaganda but belief that they were undertaking a job worth doing. It deplores the declaration against arms circulating on the campus.

Heading the list of signers is Charles A. Coolidge '17, a member of the Corporation. Formulated during the meeting of the Associated Harvard Clubs last weekend, the letter was singed by all members present at an informal pre-luncheon cocktail party.
