...fact is that a four years study of military history and modern warfare as a background, with concentration in some particular field such as transportation, explosives, or finance, would turn out a group of military specialists. These men would prove invaluable to the country in time of war. The proof of this is England's condition today. One of her chief difficulties is a lack of technical experts to direct her fast increasing forces.

We hope that the Virginians cannot complain of the University's standard in the latter. Games played, and visits made and received, in the spirit of last Saturday foster that friendly understanding between Harvard and the universities of the South which has been so encouraging a feature of recent athletics...
