...axiomatic to claim that it is the duty of everyone to get as much college education as possible before being called away, but it is a point that cannot be too much insisted upon. The majority of undergraduates come of age some time in their junior year and so must compress a great deal into a small space.

With every shipyard and every farm calling for men, his duty to work is imperative. Of the three months and more of vacation ten weeks should be the minimum which he should give. Nor should those who attend...
