...being unpatriotic. When one considers the number of University men in war service, the activities of undergraduates and the attitude of the Faculty, such an assertion would seem ridiculous. But unfortunately all citizens of the United States do not posses breadth of mind. Witness the recent action of North Dakota and Baltimore in removing the study of German from their school curricula.

In the second place, men who know German are a military necessity now and will be of great benefit to the nation in the years after war. North Dakota, however, is carried away by hate to destroy what is more an advantage than a hindrance.
