...hears a flivver manufacturer is going to check his naval warfare, but more likely he will increase the number or improve the type of his underwater raiders. In spite of baffled expectations to spend the last few winters in popular European resorts, the Kaiser has not yet given up hope. The large submarine sinking claimed at times by the British, and the constant precautions to convoy vessels show the imperial shipyards can still turn out a large fleet. We doubt, however, if German efficiency will be as effective as Henry Ford's experience, when rapid work is to be done...
...hope, however, that Florida is right, and that it is a true sign of an unprecedentedly early spring. We need one. Boston Transcript
Historic Dane Hall has been lost to Harvard, possibly beyond hope of repair, but escape from the far more serious damage which might have been caused by the flames is to be set down as a blessing at a time when fires, wherever they have occurred in the country, have been quite generally working a maximum, rather than a minimum of destruction. The blessing, in this instance, may be traced to a, source not at all mystical. The steady courage and quiet tenacity of the naval cadets who removed the many boxes of cartridges stored in the building's basement...
...good to see that the undergraduates are taking an increasing interest in the athletic arrangements for the spring. With this and with the meeting of the athletic heads of Harvard, Princeton and Yale, there appears to be hope for the resumption of intercollegiate athletics--on a modified scale.

At present, strikes seem to be prevalent within the Central Powers, even causing very serious complications. We, however, can never be certain that conditions are as grievous as made out to be, or as difficult to remedy as we hope. Exaggerated press despatches or the Kaiser's willful misrepresentation may very likely arouse false expectations. We are encouraged at the Teutons' seeming disorders, but they, too, may rejoice that American industry is becoming more and more tied...
