...similar scheme established at any other university. There is no doubt about the work in the training unit being serious. More time will be given to theoretical and practical instruction than was given to the Regiment last year, but undergraduates must realize that the country is under constant danger of war. This is no time for men to grumble at the increased hours of drill, because any morning may find us at war. If men await further developments before they enroll in the unit, they will in reality be just as disgraceful slackers as those who fail to volunteer...

The percent of childless marriages rose from 7.8 in the first group to 23.4 in the last. For this second group the number of children per graduate stands at 1.55, and almost exactly the same figures are true for Yale...
