...been urged lately by some who, being of revolutionistic turn of mind, like to see any change, whatever it may be that we adopt "America" as our national anthem instead of the more martial song to which we now pay reverence. One reason set forth is that the "Star Spangled Banner" is well enough as an anthem in the bloody times of war, but in peace we need some more dulcet sentiment. Another is that "America" is well suited to the orchestration of the people's voices, whereas our present unlegalized national anthem is of too intricate a nature...
...Norton-Harjes Service is contemplating accepting only those men who will sign up to drive until the end of the war. However, the American Corps does not expect to adopt such a policy. If members of the University wish to join the American Service they are to put in their applications immediately.

...necessity for at least withholding from universal services until after the reorganization of Europe has been urged. How much better to adopt it now, while there may yet be time to take our place as equals of the other powers in that phase of national life which they most respect; so that when the reorganization of Europe does occur, the American people may, if it chooses, take an influential part in the establishment of world peace. The sincerity of America would seem far less real if it increased its military power to first-class standing after the organization...
