...first. We do not undertake to suggest the precise method of making it applicable to the Harvard men in service; but the necessary machinery, utilizing perhaps the home addresses of men in service, perhaps the agency of the American University Union in Europe, perhaps both, does not seem to lie beyond the inventive power of an individual or group of men to whom the idea of giving to every Harvard fighter a tangible emblem of his university, to be carried into whatever danger, may appeal. Should it tall into the hands of the enemy, it could suggest only the quality...
...their batting order shows a similar lack of veterans. As athletic contests the Saturday competitions are bound to fall down in comparison to former years' battles. Yet now we are beginning to see "sport for sport's sake"; the days of highly paid coaches and intensively trained teams seem passed.

Men who are responsible for the conduct of the war, who see the question in the large, who are thinking of the human resources of the nation as a whole, seem to be generally of opinion that college students will be in the end more profitable if they continue their education until they are of age, and then use that education for the benefit of the army (or in civil life if the war is over). Officers high in the army...
