...last months of the war we have felt keenly the downfall of Russian resistance. We have good cause to deprecate a policy which not only leaves a whole nation in the chaos of anarchy, but endangers the success of our arms. Yet, despite all this, there exists no reason for our press to pour abuse and call down hatred upon that people. For in what period of history has a single race been face to face, at one and the same time, with a great foreign war and a complete overthrow of all institutions? The Russian situation is indeed unfortunate...
...stop the war on the east by methods which are likely to be highly disastrous to the Russian proletariat, and to prolong instead of shorten the war. Trotsky may not be pro-German, but neither is he pro-Russian. Such a leader can never build up a new Russian nation. Kerensky was making an honest effort to do so, by getting all parties to work together. The task was too difficult for him and the captivating platform put forth by the internationalists, some of the planks of which are undeniably good, aided by German intrigue, steadily won the Russian workmen...

They are a disgrace to a Harvard attempting to give its best to the nation in war-time. It is not too late. They can recover from that unenviable position and they must...
...last summer was popular and valuable, why wouldn't a camp established on much broader lines, and conceivably of much larger efficiency, be still more popular and valuable? In asking this question there is neither attempt nor desire to minimize the great service which Harvard has rendered the nation. The men it educated at the Fresh Pond trenches and at Barre made an excellent showing at the subsequent Plattsburg, and they are making an even better showing today as officers in the National Army. But Harvard's camp was an infantry camp to train infantry officers. Artillery, signal corps...
