...possible that the lessons obvious- ly enforced by our own history, end, above all, by the recent lamentable breakdown of the European system of military preparedness and armed alliances, should be so completely lost sight of, as is suggested by this proposal to overturn American ideals--to depart from the traditional American policy, as President Nicholas Murray Butler has said, "in the face of the most impressive and emphatic lesson that history records that the traditional American policy has been right"? The advocates of this program of military defence seem wholly to overlook the fact that our national security...
...United States be ready to join with the other nations in guaranteeing, among other things, that the world at large be secured against aggression. The question is, can we, in good faith, propose this, and at the same women embark on an entirely new policy of universal service.

...spite of the obvious lack of team play in yesterday's scrimmage, there was considerable individual brilliancy. G. A Percy '18 played a hard game for the regulars and his body checking again and again stopped the substituted forward line. He frequently broke loose and skated through team B and on one of these dashed scored a goal, but more often he was stopped by the defence because he had no one to pass to. The other forwards failed to support him and made his work ineffective...
