...catch phrase," said Captain Louis Keene, C. E. F., commandant of the Dartmouth Battalion, and author of the British war novel "Crumps," when interviewed by a CRIMSON reporter recently. "If the country relies upon each person doing his bit, we will lose the war. It is necessary for every man, woman and child in the Allied nations to do his and her utmost--and then some, if we are to be victorious...

In so far as the only useful contributions are those taken from personal income, the present service of the undergraduate must be small. If he borrows money to invest in bonds, he merely prevents someone else from doing the same. If he sells securities, the purchaser can not buy bonds.
