...upperclassmen are at present taking no interest in rowing. A year ago at this time the boathouse was packed with ambitious oarsmen; now at most two or three report. Possibly the members of the University are working too hand to take an hour off every few afternoons, but somehow we doubt it. The word "informal" should not carry with it any sort of stigma, especially as the crew is probably to row a similar Yale organization this spring...
...star which they saw in the East"; and catch from the mother of the wisp that ever-beautiful sentiment, "God bless you, Mr. Campbell. My dead husband once worked for you, and he said you were a hard man. But he surely was wrong." And all this time, "Somehow his heart seemed very light and young within him."

Gradually the University has become more and more devoted to the tasks of service before it, but these tasks have so far been local and personal. There has been nothing to place the College as a whole in intimate connection with actual warfare. Now, however, drill officers have appeared who have been themselves participants in the battles of France and Flanders. With these officers marching and drilling with us here in the Square, Harvard...
