...have the opportunity to express my approval of the proposed memorial to the men of 1920 who lost their lives in the war. Although in general we should guard against erecting individual monuments, an exception may well be made in this case. In the minds of these men, the call to arms was intimately associated with undergraduate life. Their main interests lay in the activities of the Yard, the river, and the Field; and while they were in service, their thoughts doubtless turned to Harvard almost as often as to their homes. Attachment of this kind, it seems...
...board has now issued a call for 2,000 more men; which includes both-seamen and apprentices for deck officers' positions. Henry Howard, director of the Shipping Board's recruiting service, states that there never has been a time in the history of American shipping when the demand for merchant crews was so great as it is now.

But unless our professors see an advantage in refusing to read a book or give a lecture whenever the Federation of labor chooses to call a general strike, it is difficult to see how the profession itself will gain from such an alliance. A federation of teachers unassociated with labor organizations ought to be able to reach their goal without encountering the real dangers which would attend such an association...
Final plans for the Princeton War Memorial, as ratified by the graduate council of that university in conjunction with a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, call for the remodelling of Nassau Hall and the rebuilding of the central portion as a Memorial Hall for Princeton men who died in this and previous wars. The proposed memorial had been approved by the trustees' committee, but the sanction of the graduate council was necessary before the plans could finally be accepted...
