There are three great incentives in this campaign. There is the need of supporting the organization which keeps our military establishment fit; there is the great appeal of alleviating human suffering; and there is the baser but important stimulant to action of the smallness of the solicited contribution. If such appeals fail to pierce the student's armor of indifference, Harvard's future is a sad one. Everyone has at least something to give. The man who cannot sacrifice for such a cause is no man at all. He lacks the essentials of true national spirit. Today is the last...
...agency of the American University Union in Europe, perhaps both, does not seem to lie beyond the inventive power of an individual or group of men to whom the idea of giving to every Harvard fighter a tangible emblem of his university, to be carried into whatever danger, may appeal.

"Retreat" and salute to the flag will conclude the exercises...
...There have been many mistakes in the war's prosecution, and perhaps not a few of them have been due to partisan causes. But the bulk of the testimony points to an honest endeavor at a fair administration. Appointments of men of the opposite party may be a spectacular appeal to the electorate. Fairmindedness, however, demands recognition for a policy which lays partisanship aside and which substitutes a real consideration for the needs and obligations of the time. Let us hope that the appointment of so able a man as Mr. Hughes will be but the forerunner of official recognition...
