...ending December 31, 1918 shows sales at the Harvard stores amounting to $190,977.31, as against $204,085.47 for the same period last year. The sales at the Technology stores amount to $78,483.07 as compared with $56,956.96 for the same six months last year, making a net gain in the sales of both stores of $8,417.95. The decrease in sales at the Harvard stores is largely due to the late opening of the S. A. T. C. and its demobilization in December. The greater part of the increase at the Technology stores resulted from the business...
...suggested along these lines: (1) a thorough study of similar institutions in other colleges, dealing particularly with their successes and failures, their financial status, and their basis of popularity, and from this data, the derivation of an application to our own problem; and then (2) a campaign to gain the widespread interest in the Union, the popularity, which will be its sustaining power.

The years of American neutrality were, for herself, economically gainful; but they were in no sense morally valuable. It was, moreover, obvious that the situation in Europe would not permit either America or any other neutral permanently to profit by the misfortunes of her neighbors. No nation which, like Great Britain, has cultivated sea-power, can afford to sacrifice its content...
Stimulating the interest of college men in flying will help make the progress of aeronautics gain further impetus. It was the fastening of attention on flying by college men during the War that accounts largely for its remarkable advance. There is no more practical way in which the University can help the Government and the country as a whole than by turning out a trained body of aeronauts. In case of another war, they would be of immense value to the Government; and, in time of peace, they would create a nation-wide interest in a very fascinating...
