...other hand there is still great need to keep our youth occupied in the business of education. There seems to be no less demand for college-trained men. That which has almost been accomplished in this year's study will be practically lost. There is a vast distance between the nearly finished and the finished product. We may not be acquainted with the facts which the Fuel Administration has, but it seems rather clear that the amount of coal saved by closing the colleges will not compensate the loss which thousands of students will undergo...
...creation of an army calls for the services of more men than the soldiers themselves. Among the most important of those whose duty it is to keep a fighter at the front are the physicians and surgeons. Unlike recruits for the infantry, the engineers, or the more essentially military branches doctors must be very thoroughly trained before entering the service.

Everybody says that during war time it is the duty of the colleges to keep the maximum number of men at athletics in order to improve their physical condition. By dropping intercollegiate athletics so suddenly the colleges have gone a long way towards keeping the minimum number interested. It is unfortunately true, especially in rowing, that an informal season with intramural competition will not attract...
