...former years the duties of the Freshman officers were never very difficult: a smoker, a Red Book, and the choosing of a few committees. But this year these four men have the huge task of bringing their class to its senses and making it realize that mere numbers do not justify the ricidulous conceit which is now 1921's dominant characteristic. Last year, and even more so in previous years, the Freshman knew his place and kept in it. There was no hazing,--it was unnecessary,--but the Freshman respected the upperclassman and treated him with consideration. In those days...
...road to normal conditions if the strain of rebuilding were shifted to less tired shoulders. It will be hard enough for her to return to every-day social and economic life without the added burden of having a large part of her territory to rebuild. Our cities, which will never feel the strain of war to such a degree, can rebuild the devastated towns with half the effort it would cost the French. The results would be immediate and lasting...

You have no reason to hold aloof...
...victory ever seemed to require such titanic effort. Even the most optimistic man now knits his brow and wonders how it is all coming out. We knew last April that our task was to be a terrible one, that we were going against a mass of forces which had never before been brought together in such military perfection. We expected that we would meet the ebb-tide of war in many disappointments and a few failures, but few of us possessed sufficient prophetic skill to see that a situation like the present would result. Our enthusiasm would not permit such...
