...said, "Sojourning here for the purpose of gaining an education does not make one a resident under our voting laws. Going to Harvard College" or any other college, "to be educated simply as a student does not give one the right to be assessed and registered there unless there exist the two things I have stated and emphasized--to wit, that he actually went there to make his residence with the intent to abandon the residence from which he came, to adopt this as his residence not merely for the definite time of his college course, four years...
What, on the other hand, now confronts the student body? The voluntary Regiment has ceased to exist. In its place stands the course in military science with forbiddingly academic aspect. I confess that I emphasize that point. All too keenly does the member of the Regiment recall some of the admittedly unpopular lectures required in last year's work of the Regiment. The appeal of active "soldiering" is gone. The passive absorption of theory in the lecture room is not to the taste of the majority. The Regiment as a body was more inspired by the ideals of immediate efficiency...
...that a man who is blessed with a genius for writing will become an author with or without college training.

The obligation to render military service to the country rests upon all citizens, share and share alike, each according to the best of his ability. The camps provide the machinery for the operation of a system of universal military training under exclusive federal control...
...what basis, then, does the right exist? On the fact that in the first one hundred and forty-four years of its existence the College did grant degrees and the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 sanctified this power by providing 'that the President and Follows in their corporate capacity, and their successors in that capacity, their officers and servants, shall have, hold, use, exercise and enjoy, all the powers, authorities, rights, liberties, privileges, immunities and franchises which they now have, hold, use, exercise and enjoy.' That is the basis of our degree-granting power--a privilege exercised in colonial days without...
