...balance of the current college year there will be no active military or naval training for Harvard undergraduates, according to a statement made yesterday by President Lowell. In view of the facts that the great majority of men returning to Cambridge from the service would not receive additional benefit from such training, that the systems of training recently enforced do not appear the best which can be devised, and that the development of a practical and permanent system of military instruction for coming classes is of primary import, the university authorities believe that it will be more feasible to begin...

The much-stressed problems of "reconstruction" are very real and it is in a world so "reconstructed" that the present college generation must live and work.

A. T. C. and continue or cease by their decision. The homely maxim, however old and familiar, has yet much meaning for those who are willing to heed it: "You can drive a horse to water, but you can't make him drink...
