...today's communication column appears a detailed and lively outburst against the vacillating and Prussian policy of the CRIMSON. Some of our more gullible readers may readily infer from this article that the CRIMSON is an instrument of the Nation's great munition concerns who are supposed to desire the most terrible of wars. It may be the case that one or two of the writer's accusations can be regarded seriously. He complains that we have declared war already by taking the Harvard Union for American Neutrality to task. War has not been declared against Germany, but against...
...whole militia system meet a similar fate but we should regard it as little short of a catastrophe if the spirit already manifested and the work already actually accomplished in the cause of preparedness at Yale were to go for nothing more than a mere ephemeral outburst of one summer's duration. The best way military training can be continued on a permanent footing at Yale is of course by the organization of a Yale unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, which the faculty will, we hope, in co-operation with the War Department, speedily see fit to establish...
...sacred, almost too much so. Many times it is sung with the most indistinct enthusiasm, a great number of students being so unacquainted with it that they know not even the words.

There are five poems in this issue, all of them above the usual ideal of space fillers. Mr. Hillyer contributes two; a "Song" and a "Threnos." The "Song" is an exquisite bit--rhymeless, but using the same terminating words for each stanza. The "Threnos" is a sudden cynical outburst of still more interesting form; the lines of the first stanza become successively the refrains of the following stanzas. Mr. Cummings contributes a "Ballade of Soul," a true ballade--of a more complicated type, however, than generally seen. Yet Mr. Cummings, for all the limited number of rhymes, makes his poem...
...Advocate, if we may judge from Professor Meyer's outburst, has become the sinister agent behind new international bad blood. The Advocate recently held a small prize contest for undergraduate poets, which was won by a piece entitled "Gott Mit Uns." Professor Meyer, unfamiliar with conditions here, has hurriedly judged this poem to be a "violation of neutrality," and has taken it to be representative at once of the well-determined sentiments of the gentlemen who pronounced it good verse, of President Lowell, and of Harvard...
