...agree with Kaiser Wilhelm who yesterday, in response to birthday congratulations from President Kaempf of the Reichstag, said: "I begin a serious and decisive year." The world did not know before that the Kaiser openly admitted the gravity of his situation. In the rest of his response, it is true, the Kaiser speaks in a different vein, but seven words of truth forced their way out among sentences of sham for public consumption. The Allies have tried to make things serious the decisive for over three years now, but Teutonic organization has made their game a slow one. This year...
...sorry that it is necessary to call your attention to a very serious error in one of your editorials of yesterday, January 24. You stated that two members of the Harvard Reserve Officers' Training Corps had been dishonorably discharged from the Corps. Neither of these men was dishonorably discharged.

The student body has thought otherwise. Among the opponents of this plan there were heard those who condemned official action and advocated individual effort. Let every individual have it as his duty to economize coal and its derivatives...
Even 25 tons is something to be considered in the present crisis. The recent Fuel Administration orders show how serious this is; but even so it is plain that we must not look to the coal directly saved as a very powerful argument in support of the plan. Its strength must be in indirect saving, such as lightening late traffic on the Subway, and making more feasible an earlier closing. Neither does the University stand alone. It would be part of a nation-wide effort to economize; and it is not improbable that many other universities and colleges would take...
