Students who have hesitated to join the Harvard Regiment on account of the sacrifice of time which it entails will do well to consider and appreciate the sacrifice which Captain Cordier is making in volunteering his services without emolument of any sort. Captain Cordier was placed in charge of the Army Recruiting Station in Boston in order to give him time to pursue special studies in military tactics. He has now given up every evening in the week from his spare time to the Regiment in the effort to make it a success. If he can impart a small part...

The type of man who will find his place in the ministry is of the expressive or artistic sort; the man who is not so much interested in practical or intellectual as literary and creative matters. Men who have a natural predisposition for the interpretation of life, who like to express themselves and to try to express the life of their generation, who want to know in order that they...
