...whose academic year is cut short by enlistment in the military or naval service of the United States, or of any state, the courses thus interrupted be credited as if they had been continued until the end of the year; and that instructors, after applying such tests as may seem to them expedient, return for such students grades representing their standing up to the time of their departure...
...most notable contribution to the number is an article on the "Psychology of the Raw Recruit," by Mr. Floyd H. Allport '13. It should be read with the keenest attention by everyone commanding or serving in troops. "Sensory and motor reactions," etc. may possibly seem out of place in an article on drilling, but nothing is more certain than that a proper knowledge of mass psychology is the most important part of what Mr. Allport calls "the rhythm of the army cadence," at least in its early developments. The whole point of his article is that "man is made...

One could hardly object...
Democracy is not the unmixed good which this letter might seem to account it. If democracy at Harvard would bring about a modicum of tolerance, tolerance of ideas of creed, social standing, intellectual ability, then democracy ought to be our aim. If it would bring about a closer relation of professor and student, a crying need at Harvard, it is true that the experiment of the Freshman Dormitories should be carried further. At all odds, a college less democratic than Harvard is hardly conceivable. JACOB DAVIS...
