...taken a welcome brace in these spring months of ours. The Lampoon of nowadays is thrice as sprightly as it was earlier in the college year when a decimated board or editors tackled an unwonted task. Its quips carry a superior kick and its rhymes show an improvement in content and metre. All of which naturally makes the spring number a whole lot more enjoyable than the autumn edition...
...measure of a man's national-support lies in his personal actions and in his contributions of wealth. He may enter the active service of his country or he may offer his possessions.

To columns which had long been filled with little more than the trivialities of campus life, there have lately been coming topics affecting the military drill of the students, the service which college men have been rendering in the war and must render still more abundantly, questions of real preparation for life.
