...college man is at all times troubled by a lack of time and money. Many students are always ready to contribute to any worthy cause. More, however, find it easier to leave it to the family or to plead off because of lack of funds. The difficulty of reaching the undergraduate's pocketbook has become proverbial, and human nature has not changed. The demands of the present week, however, must necessarily pierce the armor-plate of every man's private exchequer...
...though a labor conscription policy would bring the most efficient results in spite of the opposition that the powerful Labor Party would be bound to make. Conscription is always odious, but it is the only fair method of selection and it would strike rich as well as poor.

...pawn for side-stepping work is something to which no one consciously stoops. The fact that these are exceptional times calls upon us to perform exceptional tasks. A man's accomplishments today should be limited only by the time at his disposal. Granted that men are doing more now than ever before, the fact still remains that a considerable part of each man's day is not utilized. The war demands economies of all kinds and that of time is not the least among them. Very few of us have reached a point where we no longer are able...
