...this time when Boston is economically and socially seeking to forget the whine of peace-loving individuals, the least we at College can do is to set aside pacific pettiness (as exemplified in recent communications to the CRIMSON) and look at our problem of setting back the College time-table in its war-time setting...
...administrators, the central head has wildly adopted this scheme. Suddenness intensifies the radicalism or the more, made, apparently, in a desperate attempt to wipe out the ever-increasing fuel difficulties. Though an effort to remedy a grievous situation, it is rather a confession of inability to cope with the problem by other means.

Meanwhile, a large army of chemists must be employed in developing...

It is inconceivable that there will not be camps and more camps for the training of officers, there is already every assurance of another in May. If the under-age man can face his problem with clear-headed foresight, can see his friends and classmates leave, yet make his decision and force himself to stick to his work uncomplainingly, to accept its increased weight and responsibility and always to make the most of the exceptional opportunities for military training, he will not only develop himself...
