...their articles to make up the needed quantity. There was not enough literary activity of the first order in college to justify two magazines. But with the demise of the Monthly a splendid opportunity has been created for remodelling and invigorating the Advocate which its editors have not been slow to seize. In its stories, verse, and editorials, it is now representative of the best writers of the University, regardless of which magazine they contributed to in former years, and is worthily carrying on the best traditions of its past...

Security demands that no section of the line move so far ahead as to form a long narrow salient. What progress is made into Russia must be very slow, since an enormous front is concerned.

An army officer may sometimes be born with the gift of leadership. A navy officer is always made, and by a slow and exact course of study in the sciences of the sea. The preparation, being more thorough, is therefore more permanent. When the peace note has been signed in Potsdam, we shall still need our merchant marine. Men who understand the study of navigation now may then be of service to their...
