...heartily favor the establishment of a Field Artillery Training Unit at Harvard next year, and feel that an infantry unit should also have a place there." said Major-General Clarence R. Edwards in a recent interview with a CRIMSON reporter. "To be a successful infantry officer requires just as much training as to be a good artillery officer. In the artillery you deal with material, in the infantry with men, and to handle men well requires more training and experience than to fire a field piece or compute a range. I believe that the training of an infantry officer might...
...Upon entering college, the matter of further military training to fit men to be officers must be decided by the college authorities. I favor military courses such as the Field Artillery Unit, which would count towards a degree, but would not take so much time that other courses would be neglected. After a year of military training, every young man would know what branch of the service he wished to enter.

I have in mind football, particularly, but the criticism applies in some degree to other sports as well...
...been killed at the front. All the mother's actions outwardly portray her loss, she is obsessed with the idea of mourning and each night gathers her family together believing that they can receive spiritual messages from the son. The father--George Arliss--however, goes about his business pretty much as before, and people think he does not feel his son's death; indeed his wife, remembering the lack of demonstrative affection between father and son, thinks her husband unable to receive messages from the dead. But it is to his father that the soldier appears, telling him that...
