...turn out enough officers to command our present small shadow of an army. In time of trouble the nation will have to depend for the most part on leaders chosen from the more intelligent citizens. In this class the college graduate figures prominently and should in case of sudden need be prepared to take the lead in upholding principles or repelling foreign enemies. How much better it would have been for all concerned if twenty-three years ago the men who were preparing to take the field from Harvard and, in fact, from all parts of the country had even...
...trouble diring the first movement which was dreadfully ragged, each man playing independently, so that it was hard to catch the conductor's interpretation. The remaining three numbers were, however, as well played as we have ever heard the orchestra play Beethoven, except that in the third movement the sudden change to the "tempo primo" was not together.

But this can hardly be unless the former will abandon its present...
...have an indefinite idea of the location of the ladders, and doubtless one or two might be put into position in time enough to save a few men from a burning dormitory, but in all sudden alarms there is of necessity a great deal of excitement and confusion, and "what is everybody's business is nobody's business." Now a trained and efficient life-saving service might be organized if the men of each building should select some one to take command of their body in case of fire, and on an alarm, should assemble at the place where...
