...White '99, in opening for Harvard, disclaimed any intention to argue against all immigration. The present laws, he said, are inadequate in that they do not exclude those whom they aim to exclude, and because they contain no provision for the exclusion of certain other undesirable immigrants. In the laws as they stand there is practically nothing to prevent idiots, insane persons, paupers and criminals from coming to this country by way of Canada. But even if these could be excluded, there are reasons why further restrictions should be imposed. In the first place, while the supply of public lands...

...those who act with a definite and carefully considered purpose, and not on the impulse of a moment, prove the most useful recruits. And what, in this instance, should be the purpose in the mind of the undergraduate? The senible course is to consider the crisis coolly with the aim of deciding in what way he can serve his country best. If he thinks that the path of his duty lies in immediate enlistment, then no one can criticise him in his choice. If on the other hand, he feels that by accepting the privilege of daily drill offered here...
