...that the war can be brought to a successful termination by the Allies before many more months have passed," said Alfred Noyes, the British poet, in an interview with a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. "This war will liberate the world and the tremendous effect it will have on the arts cannot be measured at the present time, for it will not only affect poetry, to what extent no one can say, but it will change human life all over the globe. The hackneyed question as to how it will affect poetry is of little consequence, for the great European struggle will...

C., and believe that the development of officers in the American universities is of vital importance to the country. They cannot do better than to carry out the Plattsburg idea of military training. I am immensely impressed with the situation in the colleges of the United States today, and the work of their members is being watched with interest by the countries on both sides of the water...
