...great deal to do with the falling off in the Class of 1917 is proved by the fact that, had it remained 21 per cent. as last year, there would have been a marked increase in the size of the class. Furthermore, of those admitted in 1906, 42 percent. came in conditioned, as opposed to only 18 per cent. so handicapped this year.

The over-night use of Reference Books in Gore and in Harvard Halls during 1911-12 also shows a decrease, being less than during any other college year from...
...these schemes to name one nation with the remotest intention of attacking us. As the risks of war decrease, we are asked to pay higher and yet higher rates of insurance. In the fiscal year 1910-11 we paid for the support of our army and navy over 43.3 percent, of our total expenditures, and 24.1 per cent, more for pensions, the burden of past wars--a total of over 440 million dollars--enough to build two hundred Widener libraries. The only possible way to stop this mad race of nations apparently trying only to discover which can bear...
