...Give Your Country Your Vacation" was first raised in the recruiting campaign for the 1916 Civilian Plattsburg Camps. It should today be the motto of every able-bodied undergraduate not entering the service at once; the idler is as bad as the draft dodger. Nor can it be a question of training on one hand against war work on the other. Do both--train for six weeks for your own future call, and then work for the nation's present needs until September 23.

The University made a record for itself in the Liberty Loan campaign; it must not fall to respond equally well to the Red Cross. The present subscription should be trebled by Saturday night to obtain a total worthy of Harvard...
