...congestion. Voting will be in Lower Massachusetts, not in Harvard Hall, as heretofore. There will be separate doorways for entrance and exit, both facing Harvard Hall. Voters will enter by the right-hand doorway as one faces Massachusetts, that is, the doorway nearest the Johnson Gate. Arranged in a semi-circle about the entrance and exit, both facing Harvard Hall, will be six gateways. Voters will be divided alphabetically, according to their surnames, into six groups without regard to class or degree. Each group will be assigned a particular gateway through which alone it can enter. Each gateway will...
...bonds pay 3 1/2 percent. interest, payable semi-annually June 15 and December 15, and run for 30 years but are redeemable at the option of the government at the end of 15 years.

Enough men would be under arms now to form the first increment and the other classes of semi-trained men could be called as additional forces were needed. However, the opportunities of the past have been lost forever, and the present problem must be solved by present means...
...last a general plan of what the University authorities will do upon the declaration of war has been given out semi-officially. Although the attitude and spirit of our people will change, no one need think that the Government, educational institutions and business concerns will be suddenly turned upside down. With Congress meeting early in April and the rapid development of the international situation, a declaration of war seems certain in the near future. As soon as the decision is made, the authorities will probably allow all men enrolled in any branch of the Naval Reserve to leave College...
