This article, purporting to be "by" me and yet purporting to be an interview with me, is in fact the grossly distorted report of an interview. In this interview I neither stated, nor intimated, nor had in mind any remotest criticism of Harvard nor yet of any other college or university. I was speaking of a general conception of education, or formal training, which prevails in Europe as well as in America. This conception and its application have, I believe, a defect which I think is at least partly responsible for the odd fact that...
This was, I thought, a perfectly innocent subject for an interview, and not impossibly a useful one. But it was lost. And my remarks were gratuitously distorted into an unfounded and idiotic attack on Harvard University.

...interview with a CRIMSON reporter yesterday, Mr. Williston emphasized the necessity of engineering knowledge. "This war," he said, "is so different in its use of machinery and mechanical equipment from other wars that it becomes important for every officer to have at least a superficial knowledge of the commonest military engineering matters. As an illustration of this, every West Point graduate is a technically trained man. Members of the R. O. T. C., if fortunate, are going to get ranks similar to those of West Point graduates and you can appreciate the importance of at least a slight familiarity with...
...firmly convinced that the system of universal military training and service now in force in Switzerland should be applied in the United States to supersede its present system of a regular standing army, reserves and militia," said President Eliot, in an interview with a CRIMSON reporter yesterday afternoon. "I believe that such a system should be put into force at once as soon as Congress can pass the necessary legislation. We should not wait until the end of the war in the meantime fighting Germany with our present military organizations, but we should immediately establish a system such...
