Major General Leonard Wood, M.D. '84, LL.D. '99, chief-of-staff of the United States army, delivered an address on "The Military Policy of the United States" in the 'Living Room of the Union last evening.

...definitely decided to revise the University Hymnal. The need of some such revision though only recently called to public attention, has long been felt among undergraduates and Faculty. The revision will be thorough and will therefore take time, probably a matter of months rather than of weeks. The plan as at present conceived by the Board, and indeed the only feasible plan, is to meet from time to time and discuss personal suggestions...
