...reality but a common-place. Yet at some time every American must have asked himself whether he too would give his life in case our country should ask it. If we have had near relatives and friends who have volunteered or have already fallen it may have been even harder to sit still as a mere spectator of the most tremendous and disastrous war in history...
...every point at which present education touches on the question of international relations there must be change. In the schools the successful soldier must cease to be a synonym for hero. History must be brought so as to show the true relation between military power and individual welfare.

Its offices should not become rewards for all sorts of extra-curriculum activities. The CRIMSON calls to mind a recent election in which a man not even a member of the Union was nominated for one of the committees. If the institution is ever to be lastingly improved, it must be by those whose hearts are in the work, not by those who join because it is the thing...
