...recalled that when we were first informed of this new plan for testing the efficacy of Harvard training, we were given the impression that to pass these divisionals would require fairly constant work during the Senior year. It was, of course, suggested that the summer vacation would be the ideal time for such study. But since for the average Senior this was either physically or temperamentally impossible, the suggestion, however, logical, was not altogether practical.

Whether directly through the League of Nations, or indirectly through limitation of armaments, the road to our ideal of universal peace is at present blocked by Article X. The sooner we Americans realize the futility of our sentimental revolt against "binding the free American people" to fight other nations' wars, the sooner the achievement of our own ideal will be placed on a rational basis...
