In spite of the Administration's backing, little action has apparently been taken to hurry through this measure. Although we might condemn the lack of foresight in not providing for such a matter when the draft became law, yet the present need is for instant remedy. Within a short while, if we are to follow our schedule, another increment of draftees must be called out. Although there may be no necessity for summoning men outside of Class...
...from being in sympathy with the multitude of gross errors and delays which have been committed in the most important of all business in the present day, namely, preparation for the war; but we think that before too much criticism is launched against President Wilson for lack of judgment in filling his appointive offices we should remember that to secure efficiently we must relinquish the democracy our ancestors so dearly cherished...

...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...
