What promises to be one of the most prominent activities of the Association was initiated in March in the reorganization of the Harvard Mission in the form of a committee to arouse and maintain interest among the undergraduates and alumni in opportunities for foreign reconstruction work. The project was initiated as a result of the visit of Dr. R. M. Story '08, head of the Y. M. C. A. in Siberia, to Cambridge on March...
...mission was formed in 1904 to "arouse, maintain, and increase among undergraduates and alumni an intelligent interest and participation in the work of foreign missions. To this end, to secure men for positions in other countries and so far as possible to provide for their support from Harvard undergraduates, and as opportunity shall arise, to take such measures as are possible to localize and accentuate this interest." Before the war, the mission took a very active part in this work, and found many opportunities abroad for members of the University, but since 1917 it has been practically impossible to maintain...

Foreign educational relations are beneficial in themselves and are moreover especially adapted to the firm cementing of these two great nations...
...Edwards said. "In addition to the artillery and infantry units. I would favor aviation, heavy artillery, and chemical warfare units." This statement raises a very interesting and difficult problem in connection with military training at colleges and universities. It is obvious that each university cannot reasonably be expected to maintain R. O. T.

Heterogeneous action of this sort would inevitably result in a bad proportionment of trained officers among...
...branches, and an under-supply in others, some definite form of proportioning must eventually be resorted to, which of course implies a control over schools by a central authority that is non-existent at the present time. As the quotation given previously suggests, the University is large enough to maintain a number of units representing the different divisions of service. However, for the sake of thoroughness and efficiency, smaller schools would necessarily be limited in the number of different units which they could profitably estabish...
