Your editorial of June 2 on Mexico is one which I cannot let go by without some comment. Six years ago, on the 29th of June, 1914, the world, and our country with it, howled its disapproval and disgust at Austria for insisting on sending Austrian police "to apprehend the black murderers" of the Crown Prince. Today, you, acting in conjunction with many others who, I fear, have had very little dealings, directly or otherwise, with Mexicans or with any of the Americans murdered in Mexico, conscientiously and sincerely, but none the loss erroneously, advocate and applaud our doing...

There would be such...
...especial undergraduate interest is that of the military movement. President Lowell emphasizes again the danger of overestimating the value of winter drills; and he points out their futility unless reinforced by actual tactical training in summer camps. He expresses the fear that the humdrum of mere drilling may disgust men with a work in reality interesting. The organizers of the Regiment have taken the position that, on the contrary, winter drill would increase interest in military matters and the attendance at summer camps. This is the view with which General Wood is supporting the movement for establishing companies...
