...urged that the camps will infuse into the students the "correct" view as the army sees it. It may do this and it may perhaps "stifle the university man's belief in the chance of peace new and today." But if it does, it will do it by showing him facts that may be new to him. Are we to urge a man to keep away lest he learn the truth? Is the position of those that oppose all preparation for possible war so weak that they fear to have a college man, who can and will think for himself...

Since the government has failed to initiate any adequate movement for the proper defence of our country, is it not the logical course for a true pacifist to try to correct this deficiency by gaining a certain amount of needed training at a military camp?

...agreement between Harvard, Yale, and Princeton excluding coaches from the field when one of the teams named meets another. The second ruling concerns the writing of newspaper articles, signed and unsigned, by athletes. In both of the changes which he describes, Dean Briggs has been absolutely correct in theory; but in both he has met with opposition in practice from those undergraduates particularly interested. Yet once the new rules, which may gall a little now simply because they are new, have become firmly established through a few years of trial, the objections to them will never be remembered...
