...admission to college can be broadened without lowering the standard, it ought, of course, to be done. It ought to have been done in the past, because the more men who can be given education of a high grade, the richer the community in intellectual power, in material strength, and in physical well-being. We have striven to broaden our methods of admission as far as possible without lowering the standard. In this we have been partially successful, but, no doubt, not perfectly so; and we hope to learn to do better by experience, constant effort and openness of mind...
...German papers, evdently under orders from the Government, have done their best to minimize the recent industrial disturbances. But their very efforts in this direction have served to emphasize the seriousness of the revolt. When the Government finds it necessary to court-martial industrial workers in a building closed to the public and guarded by bayonets, its alarm is great.

It was pointed out that many fuel-saving plans are already in force in the various institutions...
...institutions can, of course, be closed, and the students, dismissed. But unless this is done for a considerable length of this the saving would be slight. The work for the Government must be continued, and that involves keeping open laboratories and libraries, the plant must be kept from destruction; the students must live somewhere and dormitories are approximately as cheap a method of keeping them warm as could be found. Moreover, it has been calculated, that the cost in rule of having the students travel to their homes would equal that of keeping them warm in college dormitories...
