...must be said, however, that there is at least an element of the miraculous in the University's escape forth more serious loss of the precious documents and historical papers which had been stored in the building. According to all casual opinion it must seem an inexcusable negligence which ever hazarded these records to the keeping of so old a building, quite without any system of fireproofing. At least they might have been kept in protected vaults. Boston Transcript...
...would take great audacity to accuse Harvard University of being unpatriotic. When one considers the number of University men in war service, the activities of undergraduates and the attitude of the Faculty, such an assertion would seem ridiculous. But unfortunately all citizens of the United States do not posses breadth of mind. Witness the recent action of North Dakota and Baltimore in removing the study of German from their school curricula. These same people may now look askance at the list of new courses to be offered by the University this next half-year. As against two French courses stand...
...chiefly on the ill effects which they might bring with them. It was feared that if they were resumed, so also would the former extravagant basis be resumed; and that they would so preoccupy the undergraduates that the latter would partially or entirely neglect their military work.

Exaggerated press despatches or the Kaiser's willful misrepresentation may very likely arouse false expectations. We are encouraged at the Teutons' seeming disorders, but they, too, may rejoice that American industry is becoming more and more tied...
...reserve'--a sort of semirepose, after a month of hot work and strain, too. It is not that we sweat and slave greatly, but there somehow seems to be a nervous effort and tightening in driving under fire which takes it out of one physically. The result is that after our 'spells' of 24 or 48 hours we sink into lethargic repose until the next call. The days seem all alike--except that we are served 'chocolat' instead of black, sugarless coffee on Sunday mornings--and they slip by, unsung, into the tumbled yesterdays of 'a little while...
