until proof is obtained all ultimatums or threats could be only
mere braggadocio, which, if carried too far by this false patriotism,
might lead to national disgrace and disaster.
In the end it is not a question of doctrine; it is a question of
true patriotism.
The college man's position must always be one opposing that
false patriotism which, for the sake of braggadocio, willingly
violates the laws of God and humanity and only finds expressions
for patriotism in the clash of arms. The educated man and the
true patriot will always hold it the glory of a nation to obey as
nearly as possible the laws of Christ and deem it a violation of a
nation's honor to threaten or wage war without a full assurance
of the right.

Who—
When the sleighing is good
And her best is away,
Who then provides the "hood,"
Who then obtains the sway,
Who? Why—
The other dear fellow.
Who—
When the skating is fine
And " nutn " is not needed,
Who then—then must repine,
Who then is not heeded,
Who? Why—
The other dear fellow.
