Your editorial this morning criticizing the action of the Faculty in advising students to continue their college course until they reach the age required for the Government training camps expressed an opinion common among undergraduates; but you will permit me to say something in behalf of the Faculty view...
Many will say that a year ago the United States did not want war. To make such a statement now would be preposterous. Why the change in sentiment? A more complete knowledge of the hellishness of German and Teuton intrigue has been the means, the accompanying realization that the world must be made safe for democracy, is responsible for that change.

There have been many mistakes and much confusion, but we may safely say that the achievements of our nation in the year just passed, outstrips those effected by any other country in a similar period of time. It is no self-pride or narrow national glorification to render tribute to the always accelerating accomplishments of our people...
