...work will go for nought. Such an arrangement is obviously unfair and wrong. The College is going to the trouble of giving the undergraduate camp aspirants special exams.; why should not the Law School do as much? Granting that the study of law presents problems which do not exist in an academic course, nevertheless the studies of three paltry weeks should not be allowed to stand in the way of a man's future, when this future is to be devoted to the service of his country...

College students exist because some men are unqualified for war service and because many more believe that a higher utility lies in an academic preparation for the future. We can gainsay the position of neither, but we can maintain that past experience has shown an indifferent attitude of not a few toward the obligations of the time...
