...thirty-five University undergraduates that were accepted by the American Red Cross for ambulance driving during the past summer at the Italian front, twenty-one are now definitely known to have been decorated by the Italian governenmt. These men sailed for Europe soon after the close of the special examinations held last spring. They were enrolled to serve a maximum period of six months and should accordingly all be back in the early part of December. Word has recently been received from the Red Cross headquarters in Italy, however, that thirty men are returning via Paris. The cablegram does...
...advantage. We have seen the English and French universities go down during the last four years until now they are mere shells of institutions. Theirs was a noble service at the beginning of the great struggle, but the drain on the attendance has been an ineradicable misfortune.

...long been an open question with the undergraduate how many courses he should take each year. Some take only four, either because they wish to do a great deal of work in a small field, or through sheer laziness. Perhaps the majority take five courses, but, in the past at least, the six-course man has not been alarmingly prevalent. President conditions, however, are such that the reasons for taking a larger number of courses have become much strengthened...
