Lastly, there is in and around the Yard a fair number of men with whom, in class or out, I have had some personal contact. Most if not all of these men I count as friends. They will probably have heard me mention, the word "truth"; and, in the course of a half-year, two or three other words. They will have observed, I hope, or if not my work here has been a failure, a certain attitude towards the universe and towards life--a fairly definite attitude. I desire these men, at least, to do what in them lies...
...last year the work of Phillips Brooks House has taken on a new significance. Where before it was called upon only to meet local need, it has now entered a larger sphere. We need make no mention of the little nut which followed our regiment to Barre, nor of the canteen now maintained for the Cambridge sailors. We need not repeat the praise rendered this house of service for its aid in the Y. M. C. A. campaign, in the Halifax disaster, and in many other war concerns. Its record stands for itself, a memorial to Harvard...
...Pershing's forces comes at an opportune time, for they are needed immediately. The control of the air over the American lines is evidently not in our hands.

A group of University undergraduates has just finished a task, the completion of which deserves most honorable mention. These men gave up their Christmas vacation to go into the woods nearby and gather fuel to relieve the shortage so keenly felt in Boston this winter. It was a splendid work, and most opportune, coming at the time of one of the worst periods of cold which the East...
...Boston Herald in selecting an all-service football team from among the Army and Navy elevens which played in Boston this season has placed three University players in the first lineup and mentions three others favorably. In the line, C. A. Clark, Jr., '19 of the Boston Navy Yard and C. A. Coolidge, Jr., '17, now at Camp Devens, are considered the strongest candidates for right guard and right end, and among the backs T. H. Enwright '18 is placed at fullback because of his great defensive strength, combined with a powerful attack. E. W. Mahan '16 is not given...
