...Students' Military Camps last evening, Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood M. D. '83, showed that although our army has never been tested by a big war, yet the great bulk of the people, in ignorance of our military affairs, have a serene confidence in the army that would be fatal in a time of emergency. The United States does not wish a large standing army; the policy being to maintain a highly efficient corps of regulars, backed by a good militia and a large force of volunteer reserves, and it is for the commanding and training of these reserves that...

This year Harvard is fighting at the scratch, and needs all the backing it can get. A large delegation at Princeton is the best encouragement which can be offered...
