...appreciate this feeling. Those who heard Lieutenant Morize deliver an address filled with sympathy, high praise for our fallen, and splendid advice for ourselves, came away better Americans. It was a meeting of serious citizens, paying the only tribute they could to our new heroes, not in any careless, foregranted spirit but with full heart and devotion. No, Memorial Day has not lost its purpose for us. It is about to become a day with more meaning than all our other national days...
...French and American formations, and of discipline we shall have to show in the short space of two hours. The R. O. T. C. authorities sent from a dozen or more outside colleges will be careful and critical observers, and their favorable judgment cannot be obtained by a careless display.

Those who are on probation may have arrived there through excusable sins, but they deserve to be treated with gloves no longer. They are a disgrace to a Harvard attempting to give...
Such knowledge will not terrify us or make us clamor for early peace. Rather will it make us think, feel the edge of our sword, and go on to finish a task clearly proved necessary. No careless, light hearted American army will now enter battle. It will be a large body of serious, determined men, who will push on to the end. They will not flinch, nor will their spirit weaken because they actually know how hard is the work ahead of them. That American spirit is now meeting its supreme test, but it will take more than rod-driven...
