...announcement of the University's military program for next year one fact stands preeminent,--that the Field Artillery training, wherewith Harvard is to renew her active support of the maxim "in time of peace prepare for war," is to be no path of least resistance for seekers of easy courses, but an out-and-out business proposition. Coupled with an excellent course in the theory and practice of artillery the University offers a carefully selected field of study upon which men may draw for their necessary units allied to the military work.

But we are inclined to believe that the fault does not rest entirely with the undergraduate.

To cite an example, in his annual report to the trustees of Boston University, Dr. Murlin, the president of that institution, advocates a general acceleration of the courses--and not only that; but an all-the-year-round session.
