...well that college men, especially, should perceive clearly the fallacies of the militarist arguments. For Germany or Russia to adopt the Swiss system in place of their present enormous armaments would be a step away from militarism, a measure of progress; but for the United States to adopt such a plan would be a distinctly retrogressive policy. Moreover, if there is any one lesson that the present war has taught, it is that, for us, at least, such a program as this is totally unnecessary. Neither our geographical nor our political position warrants any specific preparation for war Instead...

...Dartmouth has a very pretty custom at this season of the year. There is a day or more set aside on which the whole college repairs to the country to indulge in the winter sports. We might well adopt this as a Senior custom, and fix a time, for instance, Washington's birthday, on which as many Seniors as cared might go in a body to the foothills of New Hampshire and there regale themselves with snow-showing and other winter delights. It would perhaps be possible to devise even other forms of heart-warming, rustic entertainment for this occasion...
