...failure upon the amount of individual patriotism displayed. The company will have a great advantage over such organizations as Battery A, because it will require men to sign up for only one year instead of three. At Yale a voluntary artillery corps was recently formed, and 486 men enlisted for three years, enough to form a battalion of four batteries. In view of the splendid showing made by Harvard men at the summer camps--a showing better than was made by either Yale or Princeton,--it is perhaps not too much to hope that enough men will answer the call...

Perhaps it is the management of Phillips Brooks House; it may be that those in charge of the work have been a bit imperious and tactless in their attempts to enlist support among the undergraduates. Probably a large element in this lackadaisical attitude on the part of the students is sheer laziness and, overworked word, "indifference". That opportunities to do social service work, that is really service, should be so neglected is nothing short of shameful. The CRIMSON is not going...
