...officially start when all candidates report at 7 o'clock this evening at the Lampoon Building, corner Bow and Mt. Auburn streets. The business competition will be open to Sophomores and Freshmen; the drawing and editorial competitions to Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. There will be two sets of competitions; one being for men of the S. A. T. C. and the Naval Unit, the other for members of the Junior S. A. T. C. and regular college students. Because of the unusually small board, elections will take place about December...
...only when conditions demanded has been replaced by a plan involving a series of camps, which will begin every month and which will largely depend, for enrolment, upon members of the S. A. T. C. The problem of officering our rapidly increasing military forces has long been a grave one; the extension of the draft ages has made it all the more serious.

He, no doubt, had been killed by this machine gun, and a little later someone had killed this Boche. I hope...
...hurried little note, and recall some of the things that were heralded in the papers of the 15th to 22nd of July you will perhaps see why I did not keep my promise more punctiliously--for you will recall that on July 15th at 12.10 the Boche let loose one of his most completely devastating artillery preparations, which as far as my outfit was concerned consisted of a barrage which continued for seven hours--5 1-2 of which seven I spent in a gas mask. Then, at daybreak, and before his barrage had lifted, word came that the Boche...
