...students should feel it their duty to study and officers should be put over them to assist them in every practical way in doing so. Yet in time of peace, with the supreme necessity of persistent application largely removed, it is at least open to question whether students profit more from the pursuit of study under supervision than under a system of voluntary performance. It is said that many of the men, in spite of the watchful eye of the observer, do no more than gaze stupidly at their books or add their talent to the well-wrought benches...
...graduate and professional courses, to those who show sufficient military and academic merit to make them worthy candidates for admission. The subjects offered will be so fitted to the needs of the men that every individual from the most illiterate to the university trained will be able to profit by the opportunity.

...more than 10 or 11 percent. The United States, on the basis of these reduced war expenditures, will be raising 45 percent through taxes. This does not, of course, include loans to the Allies. Neither does it include the larger estimate of the yield of income and excess profit taxes. If these be taken into account, it is not unreasonable to suppose that half of our national expenses for the current fiscal year we shall meet out of taxation...
