...loss, the other two plan to eliminate the cause by increasing enrolments. Like all plans, this must first be tried before its success can be determined. Radical curtailment of expenses, if that is possible, may be suitable in some cases, or increased fees in others. In every instance, however, care must be taken to avoid any decision that will discourage future undergraduates. Universities are compelled to counteract in whatever way seems best the losses caused by war, but, in so doing, let them not injure their own prestige or make college education less attainable...

For these children the Red Cross is doing work of untold importance. It is also taking care of the old people who are being sent into France by the thousands, without property, hungry and almost without clothing...
