...long been an open question with the undergraduate how many courses he should take each year. Some take only four, either because they wish to do a great deal of work in a small field, or through sheer laziness. Perhaps the majority take five courses, but, in the past at least, the six-course man has not been alarmingly prevalent. President conditions, however, are such that the reasons for taking a larger number of courses have become much strengthened...
...duty of everyone to get as much college education as possible before being called away, but it is a point that cannot be too much insisted upon. The majority of undergraduates come of age some time in their junior year and so must compress a great deal into a small space. It is well worth while to get within striking distance of a degree, for no one can tell what the future will bring, in regard to the relation of academic and military work.

Good wages and fair hours--long hours and hard work, all this is no more than what our boys are joyfully, cheerfully giving in camp and at the front. But Uncle Sam is doing everything in his power to make life wholesome and clean for these boys and the country has responded with unexampled generosity to every appeal. This is splendid and what it should...
