...answer to the discussion which has been prevalent, that the beneficiaries of scholarships maintained by Harvard Clubs do not sufficiently distinguish themselves as scholars in College, the Alumni Bulletin publishes some statistic dealing with the honor men of 1916. These figures show that of the 143 men who received honors at the last Commencement, 61, or nearly 43 per cent received financial aid as Freshmen. For this financial support thirteen Harvard Clubs and several separate scholarship foundations are responsible. The following is the table given the Bulletin: Men with "cum laude" 66 Scholarship holders 24 Men with distinctions...
...wonder why I am satisfied to be planted so far from the war area. As an answer, remember that all the men we are working with are Territorial who are awaiting their turn to go "up the Gulf," wounded and convalescents who come back with nerves shattered by the "hell" of Mesopotamian heat and disease, and regulars who have to guard the "no man's land" dividing India from Afghanistan and Kashmir. This work is as necessary as munitions factories and telegraphs in the organization of a big army and after all the stories I have heard from...
...dead feel that they were sacrificed--Rupert Hughes, for example, who acted without a moment's hesitation? To us who look with reverence upon our living, and with love upon our dead soldiers, it might seem that the profoundest answer to all these questions has been given by another French soldier, himself no mean artist, who gave up his young life for his country last year. "If fate claims the best," he wrote to his mother, "it is not unjust. The less noble who survive will thereby be made better. . . .Nothing is lost. . . The true death would be to live...
...Harvard. Will the Crimson have a strong team? The loss of star players, the delay of Haughton in appearing at the Stadium--these among other considerations are influences which bring speculation of the sort uppermost in the mind of the lover of the autumn game. There is but one answer: of course Harvard will have a strong eleven. It's a moral certainty. And the reason may be given in two words, "fundamental football." No team well versed in the rudiments of play can fail to be a formidable outfit. It would be better with strategic finesse, with a complement...
What the final outcome of this first mobilization will be is a question no one can answer. A formal declaration of war would certainly mean a call for more volunteers, but whatever developments occur the attitude of Harvard undergraduates towards the present critical situation should be sane. Naturally every man wants to serve his country, and fulfill his military duty towards her immediately. Four or five hundred have already signed up for the Plattsburg Camps. Others cannot attend the camps and yet have had no military training. These are the men who should pause and regard the facts...
