...disloyalty and failure to support the Government. Whoever ventures to oppose the President runs the risk of being termed a friend to Germany. Many opinions, to be sure, are expressed because of political opposition or personal prejudice, yet some arise from patriotic motives. To distinguish the useless and even disloyal criticism from the genuine is often difficult. There is, however, a fundamental difference in that the latter is directed entirely to the benefit of the nation, and is usually the sentiment of many people. In advising a policy which Mr. Wilson opposes we may be accused of falling to stand...
...nobler cause. The veteran is not only likely to be losing his position, but also to forget those fine bits of knowledge on which he relied for advancement. In the second place, foreign armies include many men taken from the middle of their college career. Boys who have not even completed a preparatory school course are often old enough to fight. Although some may take up their work where they left it, yet others must consider their education finished. Such soldiers will profit most from the university. Whether they return to studies or not, their future welfare often depends...
...student body will decide today whether the University time schedule is to be advanced an hour. Some undergraduates even now fail to see the advantages of this plan. The first reason for its adoption and the most essential at the present time, is the conservation of fuel.

According to the proposed idea, everybody would rise one hour earlier, and therefore go to bed an hour earlier...
...thin. Of the 15 pieces in this number--an editorial article, a literary criticism, a narrative of the French front, five pieces of prose fiction and seven "poems"--only one poem, "Ode to the East Wind," by Mr. C. La Farge, shows at once sincerity and artistic feeling; and even this is marred by several bad lines. Perhaps there is another exception, but I am not going to name it for fear of revealing my own obtuseness. One of the pieces of prose fiction seems to me a parody--and in places a good one--but if it is intended...
...Even 25 tons is something to be considered in the present crisis. The recent Fuel Administration orders show how serious this is; but even so it is plain that we must not look to the coal directly saved as a very powerful argument in support of the plan. Its strength must be in indirect saving, such as lightening late traffic on the Subway, and making more feasible an earlier closing. Neither does the University stand alone. It would be part of a nation-wide effort to economize; and it is not improbable that many other universities and colleges would take...
