...young men of the country are fast realizing the task before them. Princeton is forming a volunteer battalion, Yale has a unit of the R. O. T. C., and Cornell has already enrolled 2,000 students in its military department. Harvard men have never been slow in the past to see their duty, and they have never sidestepped The desire of every student to become an officer rests on the well-known fact that the first call for volunteers will create a need for many more commissioned men than exist at present. The quickest and most thorough way for anyone...
