...mere accident that has made all the pro-German organs in the press clamor against the men who dare point out our shortcomings, the speaker proceeded to assert, for the pro-Germans know well that our country's ruthless enemies, whom they serve as far as they dare, desire nothing so much as to see this country afraid to acknowledge and make good its shortcomings; and those pro-Germans cloak their traitor-our aid to Germany under the camouflage of pretended zeal to save American officials from just criticism. "But there is an even lower depth," Mr. Roosevelt affirmed...
...story about how much work you had, and then remind him of what good friends you two have always been. This is the easiest way to escape demerits, but it is also the most unmilitary. Letters from our men at Yaphank emphasize the fact that the Harvard men know the game better than the draftees, but that many others make more efficient soldiers because they are better disciplined. Lack of discipline is the fundamental weakness of our system. The time to reorganize our military morale is now. Soon it will be too late...

Dormitories would necessarily be open and light and heat would...
Since moderate regulation has failed to check the coal consumption sufficiently, drastic action is resorted to. Whether the University is directly affected, we do not yet know. Some branches certainly will be, and it is quite possible that the entire College may have holidays thrust upon it. In such an event we expect a long weekend, fewer classes, and a confused schedule. The inconvenience created would certainly be considerable, yet necessity may be greater. Harmful as such action is, however, it seems the lesser of two evils. If we are forced to suspend work temporarily, we do so that more...
