...plan of universal military training. Surely they did not mean to exclude themselves. The new plan of instruction is the means whereby they may prove the sincerity of their words, and remedy in so far as lies in their power the weakness which they have declared exists in the nation. The new course in Military Science may mean the dropping of other desired courses. It may mean personal hardship by small and continuous sacrifices. Each man dislikes to sign away his future. Such procrastinators console themselves with the thought that should their nation be put to the test, it will...
...beginning of the second half-year will be, "What can I do to help my country in this crisis?" The last week must have impressed undergraduates with the seriousness of the problems confronting the Government and the immediate necessity of an adequate military power to enforce whatever policy this nation may pursue in the future.

Our Canadian opponents should be greeted by a large crowd in an enthusiastic spirit of friendly...
...honorably be avoided. If it cannot honorably be avoided, war must come. It is the duty of Harvard men to line up ready for orders, not to take a vote as to the wisdom of those orders. If war must come, let us enter the war as a united nation, not as a divided nation after a bitter political struggle. Let every Harvard man frown on the suggestion that war be preceded by an ugly campaign of recriminations to see whether Mr. Bryan's views or the President's views shall prevail. Imagine your country torn into two camps. Imagine...
