...well enough to talk about the sanctity of the Sabbath. But youth will be served. And men who may not find recreation around Cambridge will seek it outside, at the beaches and amusement parks, where religion is not especially fostered. It is not a question of observing the Sabbath according to the strict letter, or of neglecting it in tennis and rowing. It is a question of neglecting it in tennis and rowing, or of contemning it in less natural amusements...

As the percentage of those who would go to war at the first call from a spirit of adventure is only about one-tenth or one-fifteenth of those who will willingly go when called upon (as the experience of England has shown) then we may count on four or six million men whose love of country, unlike their love of adventure, is superior to selfish motives of physical immunity...
