...honest endeavor at a fair administration. Appointments of men of the opposite party may be a spectacular appeal to the electorate. Fairmindedness, however, demands recognition for a policy which lays partisanship aside and which substitutes a real consideration for the needs and obligations of the time. Let us hope that the appointment of so able a man as Mr. Hughes will be but the forerunner of official recognition of many other national leaders who heretofore have remained in civil life...
...walls, it is a step forward; in so far as it turns all our colleges into military academies, it is regrettable, however inevitable it may be. As all men are probably now to be drafted on reaching twenty-one, the Government will be taking time by the forelock. We hope, however, that the plan will stop there and not be carried into the high and grammar schools.

...very good quality. It will proceed again this year with Major General William A. Pew, M. N. G., retired, as its superintendent. General Pew showed a rather unusual ability to attract to his aid officers, including especially foreign officers, capable of giving competently modernized instruction, and it may be hoped that he will succeed in this effort again. Whether it be in the famous trenches at Fresh Pond, or in the trench system and wide manoeuvre fields available at Williamstown, here are opportunities in the coming summer which no college man should miss if he yet has hope of performing...
