...room as a time-saver in outside study. A recent case came before the Phi Beta Kappa scholarship bureau where a man who has won literary prizes failed to escape probation, in spite of studying the incredible amount of fifteen hours a day. A great deal of this is doubtless due to inexcusable apathy on the part of students; much also must be charged to lack of early guidance in methods of study...
...answer of the militarist doubtless is that he is quite ready to give up armaments as soon as the other nations do, but till then let us protect ourselves. And it is just there that the pacifist of today, and especially of the United States, has an opportunity unequalled in all history to serve the cause of civilization. When the present war is over the belligerents will be in a state of exhaustion from which they cannot recover in less than a generation at least. Men and women throughout the entire civilized world will have endured and seen suffering such...

If a nation is so unfortunate as to be situated between two large over-armed powers, it is doubtless the part of wisdom to sacrifice a portion of its wealth and resources in national defences. But no one can possibly conceive of the United States as in a position analogous to that of Belgium; or of the summer military camps as other than part of a new armament policy...

Laxities in management, ever-absent bellboys, and somnolent waiters, all contribute. Most of all, the Union should be run by those whose interests lie there and not elsewhere, by men who use the building with some frequency. Its offices should not become rewards for all sorts of extra-curriculum activities. The CRIMSON calls to mind a recent election in which a man not even a member of the Union was nominated...
...There is doubtless much to be gained from six weeks spent at one of the well-situated camps in the way of outdoor life, discipline, and contact with other men. There is, similarly, very little difference of opinion as to the immense importance and significance of the almost universal military service in the whole life and industrial progress of the German people...
