Every man wants to be an officer as soon as possible, as every officer will be needed. The quickest progress can only be made by these future officers when their entire attention can be concentrated on military work. Scholastic, social, and all other interests must be discarded and the Harvard men in the R. O. T. C. must be allowed to give their unhampered efforts to the serious work...
