...participation of its members in the Great War, on the side of France; but also declares, in the most emphatic manner, that this highly unnatural conduct constitutes an inestimable service to "mankind, their country, and their College"! On behalf of "those who have risked, and in some cases lost, their lives in the great cause of humanity" is sounded the final appeal: "Let us, then, do our best to render them just honor and homage." Surely, if our country were engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Central Powers, this fact could scarcely be more distinctly applied...
Those who have risked, and in some cases lost their lives in the great cause of humanity by serving either in the ambulance corps or in the regular armies of those countries engaged in the present war, have rendered to humanity a service practically inestimable by us who have remained at home and placed nothing upon the sacrificial altar. But we can, in some measure, show our appreciation for the service they have rendered mankind, their country and their college, by exerting our best efforts to secure for them a memorial service. We little know what they have given...
...most powerful team she has had in years, with a line averaging 194 pounds. At Princeton only four regulars are missing from the eleven this season, and their places can be easily filled from the Freshman and scrub teams, while at Cornell one more first-string man has been lost, but with Cornell's big squad of physiques it should be as easy for Cornell to make up vacancies in two teams as the other colleges in one.

...vitality; and it is not too much to say that, among these many efforts only in the universities is the place of this vitality taken by the vivacity and industry of women; in the universities and high schools the nation shows the clearest signs of the spur. Both schools lost the greater proportion of their students, but the number of women has increased. Of 66,000 young men at the high schools, 12,000 were students during the past year, while 54,000, or 81 per cent. were in the army. Of the 52,000 university students 10,000 remained...
