...departments--" so runs your leading article. Harvard, apparently, exists to turn out water-tight-compartment specialists. Since the present system of competitive intranational and international life breeds war, then Harvard should turn its talents and energies to the "adequate" production of specialists in war. . . . not yielding to West Point in this achievement...
What is "adequate" preparedness? Who shall be the "experts" into whose hands this nation shall give its future? Thomas Edison, Major-General Wood or the Du-Point Powder Co.? Against whom, against what, are we thus "adequately" to prepare? Have we attained such internal unity among out sixty or more nationalities, have we even utilised one-half of the potentiality of such nationalities in building up world federation, that we should now take up in despair this old man's outworn creed and method from the war ruined hands of Europe...
There should be no trouble in building up a strong defense around Captain J. E. P. Morgan at point, and J. I. Wylde, who played goal last season. There are several possible candidates for Claflin's position at coverpoint, including C. S. Clark '16, A. F. Doty '16, T. H. Eckfeldt '17, A. W. Gardner '18 and T. C. Thacher '18. The two vacancies left in the line by Phillips and Wanamaker should be satisfactorily filled by the substitutes and Freshmen of last year. E. B. Condon '18, W. O. Morgan '18, G. A.

Since Harvard has the larger Faculty, a far more diversified list of courses, and a greater opportunity for scientific research, the military specialist would find his natural place here instead of at West Point. A feeling of rivalry would be impossible because of the difference...
...second football team, which meets the Brown seconds on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock, has not had a single point scored against it during the entire season. The ower of its defense was well shown by its splendid stand in last Saturday's 6 to 0 victory over Princeton, when the latter team with the aid of a 15-yard penalty rushed the ball to the second's 6-yard line only to be hurled back and held for downs...
