Five of the six leading cadets after the first month of work were former members of the University. Although S. A. Mead, the highest-graded man in the school and the commander of the cadet battalion, is not a University graduate, C. H. Watson '20, H. H. Dadmun '17, L. Opdyke '17, M. A. Shattuck '19 and J. A. Beaman '19 follow in the order named. Watson is adjutant of the battalion, and Dadmun, Opdyke, Shattuck and Beaman are the four cadet captains. C. T. Jackson '20, L. W. Smith '19 and J. L. Walsh '16 have been named...
That the average college teacher is one of nature's noblemen we know. That the average Freshman is susceptible to the highest inspiration, is, though disputed, probably true. And money for books and laboratories and a matrix of student life is not lacking. Where, then, is the trouble (or the source of greatness, in so far as we may be satisfied with the result)?

At some time before that date the two highest University boats will race each other, and the winning crew will represent the University against a boat similarly chosen at Yale. These two crews will toss for the course, the choice being between the new Housatonic, near New Haven, and the Charles River course. If the first crews race on the Charles the second crews will race on the Housatonic, and vice versa...
...manifestly great. Many of the firms making material for war purposes are German-owned; it would be hard to believe that the owners have not often tried and have been able to slow up their production. With these firms in American hands they can be run to their highest efficiency and help considerably to swell the tide of supplies that must in the end overcome Prussian power. The opportunities for spies will be greatly curtailed; under German ownership many of these spies were doubtless protected, but American possession will help drive them...
...German and Turkish troops press on along the Black Sea to the very borders of Persia. Rumania a vassal of Austria, Bulgaria a willing tool, and vast territories wrung from Russia complete a brief but overwhelming accomplishment. The German tide, which we believed to be receding, has reached its highest flood. The Allies futilely hammer on the Western Front and their enemies reap whole nations in a seemingly irresistible advance. The world, as seen from our shores, presents a dark picture indeed...
