...clock this evening the drawings for Yard rooms for the College year of 1918-19 will be made, and until that time Juniors may file their applications. Unusually few members of the class of 1919 had, up to last night, complied with the request of their committee and the University authorities to provide for their own possible future needs by petitioning for these rooms; why, it is difficult to understand.

Brought into existence almost at the direct request of the Secretaries of War and the Navy, the Bureau has been greatly used by Government departments. About 4,000 men of specialized training have been placed at important war work on the request of Government officers for men having a variety of training and experience...
