...practical example of this applied patriotism is the duty of the individual to do his share in defence of the country. This means, not merely preparedness so serve in times of peace, but also in the time of a future war. The bulk of the officers in the next emergency must come from college men. Unless these wish to enlist in the ranks or fret in a training camp while their comrades light, they must prepare in advance...
