According to men in the Army, the first ten years of the present world war will be the hardest. Those of the Navy have a different way of expressing it. They assert that the seventh, fourteenth and twenty-first years will be the toughest. Either or neither may be right. The fact remains that in their jesting way the men of service have expressed a basic truth which we all must come to realize sooner or later. The war will be long and the war will be hard.

The man in college today is serving a hard apprenticeship...

The University made a record for itself in the Liberty Loan campaign; it must not fall to respond equally well to the Red Cross. The present subscription should be trebled by Saturday night to obtain a total worthy of Harvard...
