...outfits in this command have been having a fine time killing Germans. All three of them have been in it, especially one. I suppose you read about their splendid work. They killed them with picks and anything that came handy. I was out there the two days before the counter attack, and, of course, went out the minute we received the news over the phone, but things were comparatively quiet. The whole outfit volunteered to go into the trenches and a good many of them...
...current issue of the Atlantic Monthly there is published and article by R. K. Hack on "The Case for humility" which every member of American educational institutions, both undergraduates and faculty, would do well to read.

What harm is there in getting out of bed an hour earlier? It is light enough to read at 6.30 A. M. these days. Don't let a patriotic wish to save electricity keep you in bed. Can the College fear a new experience? Are we to prate falsly of too many war-privations? It is extremely easy in these days of early closing theatres and amusements to go to bed an hour earlier. Indeed, only from the outside point of view would it be an hour earlier. To us under the new schedule we would be going...
