...only way to get peace is to win the war," declared James M. Beck, former assistant attorney-general under Roosevelt, before an audience of 2,500 college men on Saturday night in the Boston Opera House. "Unless the Prussian is beaten and knows that he is beaten, all the dead will have died in vain, for even if a treaty or peace could be secured at this time that would be wholly favorable to the Allies, but which left the Hohenzollern on his throne, as soon as Germany had recuperated its strength, as Prussia did under Frederick the Great...
...defeat is not a stain to be wiped out, but it remains a disappointment which we should like to forget through the result of today's game. The war has made us fairly liberal in athletics, and we now maintain publicly that we want to see the best team win. Yet we have not become so militarily impartial that we take any particular delight in having Yale win. We want the Freshmen to administer to our friends a good drubbing and we think they can do it.

The latter method is apparently more fashionable this year...
...fitted by superior training, knowledge or genius for the position. So many years at a military institution or a certain rank in some training corps does not make anyone even a non-com. It is the experience gained in preparatory regiments, in addition to natural or acquired ability, that wins high positions. Because a cadet has graduated from the R. O. T. C. he will not reach his goal, but because he has fitted himself sufficiently to be superior to those whom he leads he will. Since the leaders are the best men possible, whoever has trained thoroughly to win...
