...great race rejoiced that the Messiah had come to lead them out of their troubles. We at this season will pray that our soldiers may be granted victory in this cause which is right, that peace may be with us again before another Christmas. And it can never be the same peace, an era of materialism, which we had so fondly thought blessed. If such a Christmas is not merry in itself, it will be one which looks forward to future Merry Christmases. It is one which has its spiritual side more clearly shown to us than any we have...
...meeting of December 17, we, the undersigned four men, resigned from the Board of the Harvard Advocate. We did this as a protest against the election of a President who obtained his election to the Board and to the Presidency through personal influence, who has never, either before or since his election to the Literary Board, published a solitary line in the Advocate.

The old fashioned all round infantryman is but a shade of past glories; today everyone is a specialist in some one particular thing, and informed...
...which is merely a suggestion for the men who eat in the Union to evacuate for one or two days before the dance. Otherwise it will be difficult to arrange decorations. Our dances have never been as elaborate as Yale Proms., but we have no right to ask fair ladies to come to any but a well-managed party. Doubtless they will feel even kindlier toward 1919 when they know that its members have gone foodless for several days in order that the Union could be shifted from a dining-hall to a palace of mirth and gaiety...
