...sent to Italy to complete his training and in October was given his commission as first lieutenant in the Air Service of the United States Army. In schools, in college, and in his chosen service, he was faithful in every responsibility, straightforward to the line, loyal to every good cause, beloved by all who knew him. The loss to the nation of young men of the type of William Cheney is immeasurably great, but the world is to be redeemed only by such sacrifice. If we are ready to give all, we cannot withhold our best...
...series, and it was decided to make the best of trials. The 1917-18 Register comes out today, which is a little late as Registers go, but a hasty perusal of it will soften any wrath because of its tardiness. The 1917-18 Register is not only just as good as its predecessors, but it is better. In addition to the regular departments, it contains a war record of the Harvard men in service who would be here this year. It is a great credit to its sponsors and it deserves the support of every undergraduate...
...That is to say, any member of Military Science 2 cannot be drafted as a private without first having an opportunity to become an officer. Many men now in the corps are abusing this privilege; they are cutting drill as often as they think they can without losing their good standing with the Military Office.

Discipline among friends is a difficult proposition; there is a constant temptation to visit the top-sergeant tell him a sad story about how much work you had, and then remind him of what good friends you two have always been. This is the easiest way to escape demerits, but it is also the most unmilitary. Letters from our men at Yaphank emphasize the fact that the Harvard men know the game better than the draftees, but that many others make more efficient soldiers because...
...debarred from anything but intramural sport. The freshmen, on the other hand, have been permitted to play against their natural rivals, Yale and Harvard, and have also gone in for contests against preparatory school teams. Why intercollegiate sport should be bad for upper classmen, and at the same time good for freshmen, would require abler inductive resources than the writer possesses to determine. Harvard and Yale, which stand rigidly against university teams made up of upper classmen, have permitted their freshmen to organize and conduct intercollegiate contests and have never attempted to explain this inconsistency. Intramural sport is an excellent...
