...graduate basis and maintaining a standard of work which is almost unique among institutions of its type, it has a special obligation in that regard. As for the Ph. D. degree, that of itself would matter little.

For University students who want to know the why of war there is a "camp" at Cleveland the last ten days of June. The object of this student conference is to find the "rational foreign policy for the United States." At last year's conference at Cornell Major Putnam, Hamilton Holt, Norman Angell, Hudson Maxim, Andrew D. White, and others presented very divergent views. The camp this year will be addressed...
