...total number of students dropped from the College as a result of the 1912-13 mid-year examinations is 31. Of this number, 58 per cent is the result of "closed probation"; the remainder, or 42 per cent, is made up either of men dropped from previous classes, who are "requested to withdraw" from the College on account of second failure, or of men entered last fall on trial, who are "allowed to withdraw" on account of immediate failure. The last group is naturally drawn entirely from the class of 1916 and the unclassified...
...single man, who entered with the Senior class, has been dropped from the College at this time; 29 1-3 percent of the number dropped by class are those who entered with the class of 1914; 33 1-3 per cent are those who entered with the class of 1915; and 37 1-3 per cent are those who entered with the class of 1916.

In the fiscal year 1910-11 we paid for the support of our army and navy over 43.3 percent, of our total expenditures, and 24.1 per cent, more for pensions, the burden of past wars--a total of over 440 million dollars--enough to build two hundred Widener libraries. The only possible way to stop this mad race of nations apparently trying only to discover which can bear the greatest burden of taxation...
