...axiomatic to claim that it is the duty of everyone to get as much college education as possible before being called away, but it is a point that cannot be too much insisted upon. The majority of undergraduates come of age some time in their junior year and so must compress a great deal into a small space. It is well worth while to get within striking distance of a degree, for no one can tell what the future will bring, in regard to the relation of academic and military work.

...remaining group of undergraduates--those who may plan comfortable holidays at home or away from it--merit the strictest censure. The coming months will be no time for white flannels and tennis racquets. Although the arm of the "slacker law" cannot reach behind the 21-year wall the under age loafer is no less a useless dead weight, hardly "worth his feed." With every shipyard and every farm calling for men, his duty to work is imperative. Of the three months and more of vacation ten weeks should be the minimum which he should give. Nor should those who attend...
