...times, the rather irritating superiority of the classicist. The unsigned opening contribution to the number gives us three opinions of war in the abstract, of which the first would seem the justest, though the author obviously did not mean it to appear so. Mr. Parsons' "The Abandoned House" is good description but the word "animals" is rather a colorless designation for rats. A story by the same author, "Footfalls in the Desert," supplies us with mystery and "local color," but its greatest claim on our regard is the discovery of the Mexican Christmas flower. "Shade of Linnaeus!" What plant...
...didn't set so well on bell hops, coachmen and chauffeurs; there they suggested to us an increase in snobbery. On policemen, firemen and mail carriers they gave no offence because these men were recognized as essential democrats in spite of them; and we knew that they had a good effect among "foreigners." We saw so few army and navy men that their uniforms didn't figure much in our thoughts. When we thought about them at all it was with a certain derision of the "gold braid...

By tact and good judgment he was able to be exacting and at the same time beloved. More important, perhaps, he presented to young men of an age when example counts quite as much as precept a conspicuous instance of what a soldier's life should...
Major Morse, a Canadian infantryman, who fought at Vimy Ridge, was an interested spectator. "I am very much impressed with this work," he said to a CRIMSON reporter. "The discipline is remarkably good. It has been one of our greatest difficulties to maintain good order in the trenches. Although your system of trenches is not very large, it is a very good reproduction of similar ones on the Western Front. Altogether, the R. O. T. C. training last summer was the most practical in the country, and the work of this year's Corps promises to be just as good...
