...volume is given over to harmless tinklings. The section of war poems is interesting. Surely here, I thought, will be poems that show the heart and imagination of our colleges astir and aflame. But the poems selected are all of a neutral tinge and most of them of a pacifist taint; possibly they reflect the personal prejudices and predilections of Mr. Schnittkind. There is not one that breathes the spirit of hearty indignation, healthy hate, and noble devotion that I believe animates most American college men in these days--and that must have been expressed in much college verse...

Before his resignation from the Cabinet Mr. Bryan's attitude toward the war was severely criticized, and he was accused of being a pacifist.

The Columbia Faculty, however, take the opposite view and apparently agree with the Imperial German Government that political orthodoxy is the test of intellectual capacity. Indeed one might...
...that Congress has declared that a state of war exists between the United States and Germany, the Harvard Union for American Neutrality has automatically ceased to exist. Now the primary duty of the pacifist, like every other citizen, is to serve his country actively. There is not one of us who does not believe in the principle of universal service in return for the benefits of citizenship; but some of us believe that military service is not the only form which it may take. We have problems here at home which will continue with...
