...speak on "The International Obligations of the American People." Mr. H. Parker '78 will present a set of resolutions, expressing disapproval of the proposed embargo on the exportation of munitions. Professor W. E. Hocking '01 and Professor Josiah Royce hon. '01, both of the Philosophy Department, will discuss the moral side of the question of sending arms to the Allies. They will be followed by Mr. William Roscoe Thayer '81, former editor of the Graduates Magazine, and Dr. Richard C. Cabot...
...Morton. Prince '75 will give a talk at the Harvard Club, Boston, this evening at 8.30 o'clock, on the moral effect of high explosives on the soldier as observed in this present war and the organization of the British Medical Service. Dr. Prince has but recently returned from abroad, where he has spent much of his time in the trenches and the hospitals of the English field service studying the effect of shell fire on the nervous systems of the men at the front...

...stories, Mr. Dos Passos's "Pot of Tulips" contains skilful description and an inimitable heroin. Mr. Whittlesey's "Best Laid Schemes" is lively, humorous, and endowed with a "double back action" in its final surprise. "The Poet and the Porcupine" by Mr. Rogers is a well-told fable, the moral of which is not pointed. The writer shows a feeling for style which should save him from the use of such phrases as "The nearby town." Not to be exclusively literary the editors have printed "The Significance of the Struggle in the Balkans" by Mr. Burrow, who pleads...
