...military units in the University are being disbanded. For many of the men this means that a great cross-road in life has suddenly been reached. Shall they take the road which leads directly back to home and a position, or shall they choose the more indirect road which will take them through College before bringing them to a similar destination? The decision must be made by each man during the next few days. And it will have as great if not greater influence on his future life than any other choice which he will ever be called upon...
...something to be considered in the present crisis. The recent Fuel Administration orders show how serious this is; but even so it is plain that we must not look to the coal directly saved as a very powerful argument in support of the plan. Its strength must be in indirect saving, such as lightening late traffic on the Subway, and making more feasible an earlier closing. Neither does the University stand alone.

There is little likelihood that any branch of service other than the patrol boat units will directly encounter the armed forces of Germany. The ambulance corps, however, offers an indirect way of increasing the military strength of the Allies. Those men who, for such causes as defective eyesight have been refused admittance to the regular training corps will find ambulance work the most useful and valuable form of service they can render...
