C., the Yale battery, and the similar institutions at other colleges, which were much more representative than the S. A. T. C. of college military training as it is in peace time, and which by concensus of opinion were highly successful. He waxes most enthusiastic in his denunciation apparently of all college training systems in general. In a speech to members of the Madison Civics Club he stressed the fact that "not even the hateful Prussian military system was ever extended to curtail the freedom enjoyed...
