...devote themselves to the service of the American Ambulance in France. This is good evidence of the impression which the work of the Ambulance Service has made upon the Allied nations of Europe at a time when there is unfortunately a great deal of foreign criticism is respect to Americans. With the hope of arousing still greater interest in the cause of the Service a booth at the Allied Bazaar has been fitted up with interesting souvenirs of the war, and placed in charge of a group of Harvard men who have already driven ambulances abroad.

Certainly it is much more nearly national in this respect than are the large universities of the West, who draw very largely from the states in which they are located, but who cannot entice thorough representation from the East. The statistical title is one for statisticians to determine; the real claim to rank as our most national university will depend...
