...College; it is merely an award of work done well by men eager to do their part, but prevented by age or unavoidable circumstances. To have spent so much of a year in College and to go unrewarded would be an absurd as well as a hard fate. We do not hope that Harvard will be entirely deserted immediately after April 14, but we do hope there is a large exodus of men whom our Government needs and wants...
...these, our nation must only be strengthened in its purpose. There can never be such a Germany when peace is finally attained. The Balkan question must meet a solution now that will last for all time. The basis must be the right of all people to decide their own fate.

Dormitories would necessarily be open and light and heat would...

Of course the women would have rendered patriotic aid during the present crisis, regardless of the fate of their enfranchisement. They always have done their share, they always will. But by declaring itself for suffrage, the administration has removed a feeling of irritation and discontent, and has there-by rendered American women more capable and more willing to perform those duties so essential to the success...
