...course, the foregoing does not begin to dispose of the issue. But it does indicate the scientific method of approach. It is utterly opposed to the swashbuckling code of honor or manliness, which sets up the slab-back policy and the hip-pocket ethics as categorical imperatives under all circumstances. To snub with a sneer the claims of a thousand other considerations is not patriotism; it is treason. CECIL H. SMITH 2L. Chairman. H. DAVIS '18. R. H. GARRISON '18. G. L. HOWE '18. A. N. McCOMB '18.

As the Regiment of last year trained raw recruits to be privates, so Military Science 1, which comprises the instruction of the unit will teach men to become officers.

...South's institutions, far more eager to learn than are those Northern students who scarcely know why they are in college. The authorities would be found busy with the enduringly important first principles of education is such institutions, and not obsessed with administrative detail and petty refinements of method. This would be an experience of value to some of our Northern professors. And if they themselves taught, and taught finely, in their Southern chairs, they would have a large opportunity for correcting some of the notions that have grown up about New England, to the detriment of our relations with...
