This feeling of recoil, even of hatred, is human enough to be easily comprehensible, but does its stimulation into a frenzy hasten or retard our war-making and is it, therefore, to be encouraged or discouraged? We fail to see how an American, by refusing to hear an orchestra play the music of Mozart or Beethoven, either spites or weakens the Kaiser or adds a bit to our fighting strength.

We, that is, all but the freshmen, do not even know who plays each position on the two teams In former years we could all run through our line-up much easier than decline a French verb; the name Mahan meant more than words can describe. The War has changed it all; new comers fresh from preparatory schools...
