...CRIMSON competition offers the chance not only to come in contact with others who have been through the same mill as the present crop of candidates, and made good, but also to develop an ability to meet and deal with business men without embarrassment and with that poise which so many students fresh from preparatory schools lack. Previous experience is not at all necessary. The man is bound to succeed who gets out and is in earnest, makes an analytical study of the problems before him, profits by his errors and comes back stronger as a result. If he goes...
...thus leaving a personnel composed almost entirely of avowed Irish sympathizers, there is the manifest impossibility of any fair "investigation" by such a Committee.

Money expended on a big ship without providing it with the neccssary defensive air and water compartments is money thrown away. It would be better, under present conditions, to stop wasting money on thirty million dollar ships, and round out the aeroplane and submarine fleets; a little of the new, and not so much of the near-obsolete should be given attention. Such a course would not only be economical, but it would also save America from...
