The entire ceremony, including the sound off by the band, was gone through and the company lines in passing in review were extraordinarily straight considering that yesterday was only the ninth day since the start of intensive training and therefore only the ninth day that the provisional battalion has been organized. F. B. Lund '18 acted as major of the battalion...

At least one of the war articles--that of Mr. Fisher, on "Our Military Problem"--shows considerable information and sound reasoning. The style is straight-forward and vigorous, and whether the conclusion is right or wrong, the argument is of a kind that deserves a hearing. "The Verge of War," by Mr. Rogers, is in the main a sober account of the necessities of the present situation. It is marred by occasional exaggerations...
