...brought many changes in the daily life of the people. The college undergraduate has been equally affected and moves in a sphere unknown to the peaceful days of previous years. He has curtailed almost all activities which have no direct hearing on the present conflict. Old customs which had become Harvard's sacred traditions have passed out of existence. All this the undergraduate gladly accepts, knowing it to be the inevitable. Yet there is a danger that war hysteria may drive Americans to measures which are not marked by necessity.

Although the majority of the industries greatly prefer to employ men who will not be returning to college next fall, almost all of them have vacant positions and are entirely willing to give men the jobs temporarily. It is to be noted, however, that but few of the places open to college men for the summer are of a clerical nature, the vast majority entailing labor of a heavier sort...
