...might have included a more adequate recognition of the debt of the University and its friends to Captain Shannon; for the success the Corps achieved last summer was due in very large measure to his untiring efforts as Commandant. It would have been difficult to find a better man for the job. His solid ability and conscientious service won the respect of the cadets, and his consideration and constant good nature won their affection. By tact and good judgment he was able to be exacting and at the same time beloved. More important, perhaps, he presented to young...
...spectators will find their chief interest centred in the miniature Army and Navy football game between the Boston Navy Yard and Camp Devens. This contest will in reality determine the champion team in the two services in Massachusetts, if not in New England. The only other army team comparable to the Devens eleven is the First Maine Heavy Field Artillery from Westfield, and it is not thought that their team is the equal of the team being produced at Ayer.

The United States does not have to go through three years of war to find out that it is fighting for far higher things than, for example, a section of territory...
...inadequate, for by December we will be too advanced to spend the winter in the gentle art of right facing. Like Germany, we must expand and like her we have no place to go. Somebody will have to think and do it thoroughly to solve the problem. Unless we find an armory in town or build one here the winter drill is sure to be a dismal failure and a glaring waste of time. It has been suggested to take Brattle Hall and drill there, but this is absurd; no company of one hundred men can manoeuvre there. Where...
