...decision to hold this meeting came as a result of a conference of the Law School Faculty held in the Colonial Club yesterday afternoon, at which the entire question was thoroughly discussed and certain announcements formulated. The position of the Law School in regard to allowing men to leave for military service is more complicated than that of the College or of other graduate departments of the University, for practically the entire work of the students is rated by the final examinations held the latter part of May and the first two weeks of June. This is particularly true...
...Harvard Union for American Neutrality was avowedly a temporary organization, created to voice a protest against what we considered a great mistake on the part of our country.

By the early morning announcements of most of the larger colleges, however, in which all athletics were called off, action on this question became useless. Some indefinite plans were made for the continuance of informal...
...answer to a question as to the relative value of men trained for officers under the system of the R. O. T. C. and under the system at West Point, Captain Shannon answered that there was no reason why the method here should not develop some officers fully as capable as the best graduated from West Point. "What an officer needs," he said, "is not necessarily so much book learning, but a training that makes immediate and unquestioning obedience second nature to him. A man so trained will usually make a good leader and officer. At West Point the idea...
