...effective direction of war cannot be combined. As surely as favoritism can never be the basis of military organization, partisanship has no place in the war councils of any nation. In recognizing this fact, England and France have established their coalition cabinets and have made merit the determining factor in all appointments to office. Since a year ago last April, the question of politics in our national Government has been foremost in the public mind.

And yet what was the real nature of the ardent request filed by the Yale News, if its editors could only have known it? It was in fact an appeal for a Short-Cut to Knowledge. As wiser heads know, there is no such detour. The path of the regular curriculum is the one highway leading to the real Castle of Comprehension, if it leads anywhere at all. The students say they want the road...
