There is but one thing for the civilian population to do: keep calm. We must continue our daily work as before and let the Navy worry about the U boats. If we object too strongly to submarines we had best enlist and fight them with guns, not loiter around and fight with words. The Germans considered the Scarborough vandalism a victory and they soon found out that it was merely acting as a stimulus for British recruiting. If the same takes place here, the U boats' journey will have been well worth while...

Their object will be to point out the relation between success in college today and ability to win out in the crises of tomorrow. Mr. Clark, on the other hand, will approach the subject from an industrial standpoint, and will state the business and manufacturing sides of the question.
