There have been any number of winning track teams in the past, and no very revolutionary changes have occurred since victories were the rule. With 2,500 men to draw from, the amount of raw material is sufficient for two track teams. Yet in 1915 Harvard had only one entry for the hammer-throw and three entries for the pole-vault in the Yale meet. Last year Harvard entered three men to Yale's eleven in the hammer-throw, and three men to Yale's ten in the high jump. At the beginning of this winter's season fifty...
...industrial conditions. He said that we had to consider as powers in the world only four or five countries--or groups of countries--who control coal and iron supplies. The nations, he stated, who did have at their disposal the greatest supplies of these fundamental raw materials controlled the destinies of the world.

For a patriot is always ready to fulfill the needs of his country, and our country has as great a need now for volunteer officers, under training, as she will have for a million raw recruits when war is declared...
...time for indecision or the adoption of half-way measures. The University, with the aid of Captain Cordier, presents to Harvard men in the unit of the R. O. T.

...find us at war. If men await further developments before they enroll in the unit, they will in reality be just as disgraceful slackers as those who fail to volunteer in time of need. The country will want trained officers if war comes more than any number of eager raw recruits. Harvard men must forget about the sacrifice entailed during the next few months, and realize that the greater amount of serious, concentrated drill and study accomplished at the moment the greater and more valuable will be the service which Harvard can render the Nation in time of danger...
