...smaller or weaker nations, the duty of unselfish service is incumbent upon us; we cannot avoid it, try how we will. Dematerializing men and men's motives seems to me the only way of insuring for America the efficient and progressive democracy which she neds so badly. I fail to see how our present system of education or that proposed by Mr. Lazarus are going to accomplish this. C. S. JOSLYN...
Newton D. Baker, our Secretary of War, has arrived on French soil for the purpose of investigating military conditions there. No obligation of his office required him to undergo the rigors and risks of such an adventure--and he may have been needed at home--but he cannot fail to profit by the experience.

...student body will decide today whether the University time schedule is to be advanced an hour. Some undergraduates even now fail to see the advantages of this plan. The first reason for its adoption and the most essential at the present time, is the conservation of fuel. Although this will hardly be obtained through economizing heat, since college buildings are kept warm a definite part of the day under any circumstances, yet it can be secured by utilizing less artificial light. According to the proposed idea, everybody would rise one hour earlier, and therefore go to bed an hour earlier...
