...would like to make a reply to the letter published in your issue of Friday a regards militarism in the form of drill a Harvard. The question of military preparedness is one of the pre-eminen problems of this country today. Harvard, however, is not the place in which to begin preparations for war, if as Congressman Gardner and General Wood assert, such measures are immediated necessary.

...when to all this is added the fact the prohibition in question would not even discourage, let alone prohibit, with Boston seven minutes away, the wisdom of the proceeding seems more than doubtful. It is commonly believed by those who ought to know that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, with the best intention in the world, caused a great increase in vice and drunkenness in the United States Army, by securing the abolition of the "canteen...
