Immediate consideration of this war problem is necessary to prevent future difficulties. Even if the draft age is not lowered, and, although preparatory school graduates are urged to obtain all the education they can, yet it is very doubtful if more students will be enrolled than at present. As a matter of fact, a continuous decrease is indicated in many ways; the likelihood of younger draftees, the increasing economy of money, and the experience of foreign universities. As war deficits exist already, and as they will surely grow no less under present conditions, every college is forced to adopt...

He has even discovered, much more generally than he had four years ago, a feeling of interest in questions of broad public moment. In subjects touching his personal future he has found certain issues of more vital concern than the mastery of the latest step in the fox-trot.

When these tests were not practicable, volunteers were given credit...

For just as Milwaukee is noted for its beer, and Detroit for its Ford, so, too, Boston is known on account of the bean. Any blow at its prestige is a slap at Boston. Indeed, Daniel was cast into the lions' den for not bowing before Darius' idol; if the commissioners had erred they might have suffered similarly and as a penalty for snubbing the sacred bean they would doubtless have been cast...
