...burst of righteous enthusiasm the University pledged some $50,000 to the Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle Fund. That was several months ago and the Fund still lacks $4,000 of the promised sum. There is only one thing that can be done and that is pay up immediately. At this time when rent and Bursar bills are stretching our credit to the limit, any extra payment is a difficult demand to make. Nevertheless, those who have pledged must remit immediately, or somebody else will have to make up the shortage out of his pocketbook. We have to send...

That the success of the enterprise started 25 years ago is due wholly to the fact that the idea originated within the undergraduate body, spontaneously, irresistibly. Their desire, their determination, rein-forced by succeeding generations of college men, has caused the idea to become an unquestioned success...
Another Boche aviator has been accounted for by D. E. Putnam '20, according to a dispatch received from France. This latest achievement makes the third German that Putnam has shot down since his arrival on the battle front two months ago. Putnam and others of his fellow airmen in the Lafayette Escadrille, have been taking advantage on the recent mild weather on the French front and have continued their brilliant exploits by bringing down three enemy machines in all, losing none themselves...
