...worst which this change in orders will mean, however, is that the men assigned to Camp Devens will have a slightly longer wait for their commissions than if they had been detailed to Camp Grant. That their ability will eventually be recognized there is little doubt; officer-candidates from the Unisity have always led in infantry O. T. C.'s and the men formerly classed as Quota A are men above the former standard. If they feel themselves underestimated it would be well for them to recall the words of a famous American General, who remarked, when detailed...
...Harvard and Yale teams of this year no doubt fall below the standard of the past. There has been neither the material nor the training of times preceding the war. Military considerations have in all cases superseded the demands of effective practice. Nevertheless, there remain the fundamental attractions of every Yale-Harvard game. The teams are equal in strength; the spirit is there; the undergraduates feel that the time for adding to our string of victories has again come. We welcome Yale as our guests. With many of our best men leaving next week for Government service, today's contest...

The barrage of hits from CRIMSON bats gave the funny men no chance to retire; candidates were rushed in to fill breeches in the crumpled line, but the slaughter went on, and at nightfall the Lampoon...
...contend with questions of race and empire whose seriousness cannot be overestimated. Under such a condition of affairs internal trouble and frequent dissatisfaction with the government's policies have only been natural. The labor question has at all times been grave. The conduct of the war has no doubt occasioned numerous scandals and no little inefficiency. Home Rule and Conscription in Ireland are at present the heated problems of the day. To condemn Lloyd George's ministry because of misinforming the English public in some detail regarding the military situation is folly. In view of what has passed, the necessity...
