...June Camp is another case of much ado about a fairly simple matter. There has been more fuss and complication about this one month of training than about any other camp in the history of the many training enterprises in which the University has been concerned. We may have had difficulties in enrolling for Plattsburg Training Camps last year and there were doubtless barriers in the path of those who wished to become officers at Devens and Upton, but these difficulties were mere jokes compared to the maze of complications which came in the wake of the present camp.

Your names, your worth, your possibilities are known. When you are needed, you will be called. Every month, every week, the War Department says. "We need so many men, of such and such categories--and it finds them. On the day when there is need for so many thousand young students for such and such branches of the service, you will be told, you will be called...
