...results of the proposed plan might be better secured by actually turning back the clocks, but it would be impossible for the University alone to attempt that method. An alteration of the schedule, however, would be practical and economical.

Since the United States has pledged itself to make the world safe for democracy, it behooves the nation to assure a democracy at home. War is bringing and will bring equal burdens to the men and to the women of the United States.

I would admit boys of the age of sixteen, physically fit, without examination, merely dropping them on their failing to maintain a proper standard in their stud- ies. During their three years in college I should have them under strict military discipline...
