...well be compared to what these newly chosen officers have to face. For the war has made 1921 the only class in the University where activities are carried on as they were in peace times. The rest of the classes have been cut down to fractions of their normal size, athletics are on a miniature scale, and the result is that the Freshman reigns supreme.

It will carry the candidate through the theory and practice of field artillery up to a point where a final course at a regular Reserve Officers' Training Corps will result in the production of an exceptionally capable officer...

Unchallenged evidence points out land sold to the Government for ten to twenty times its normal price, and thousands of dollars spent to no purpose by the contractors. The responsibility rests upon certain "great American capitalists," not named...
