...interest to all Democrats. You deprecate the much "shouting" of the "blind partisans" among our college faculties. So far, so good. Then in some curious manner you imply that only arrant pro-German fanatics have so spoken! Last evening Professor Ellery C. Stowell of Columbia University, speaking at the Labor Temple, New York City, said in his address: "The opinion of the people in this country as to the course of its rulers makes itself felt, and in the present instance I hope and believe that it is going to make itself felt in favor of war." Is this...
...competition. I can not emphasize too strongly this fact. We must be a strong country in the industrial as well as the martial world. We must conserve more and more of our natural resources and we must apply all our scientific knowledge to get the maximum output with minimum labor fatigue. Our universities can be the first to promote this nation-wide movement. Yale can be a leader of industrial preparedness just as it has been among the foremost in military preparedness. The combination of the two is the only true national service...

If, on the other hand, such anti-conscriptionist sentiment does not materialize among some of the groups in the lower level of the social scale which have recently shown their political power and solidarity (I mean the labor unions, of course) Harvard men may well feel thankful and proud of their country and its government. At any rate they can recognize that the prompt vote here today is only the preliminary to a campaign throughout the country from which we shall learn a good deal. GRAHAM ALDIS...
Many short-sighted college students console themselves for the lack of industry on their determination to labor conscientiously, once they enter the professional school. There is no greater fallacy than the one that leads us to think that it is safer to loaf in college than to loaf in a professional school. The young lawyer who has neglected the law may make up his deficiencies in the early years of his practice--"he will have plenty of time then." But there is no recovery of the years thrown away at college...
