...Waterloo, no battle of the Marne, though it may be that Von Arnim's defeat between Ypres and Locre may be discovered some day to have borne a much greater significance than the very considerable importance we attach to it now. What we are witnessing today in the spirit of the Allies is the natural rebound after the surmounting of a crisis. Only that "rebound" hardly describes the state of feeling. Without quite being aware how it happened, we find ourselves turning to the morning's headlines with an air of comparative indifference, prepared for the ordinary "local engagements...
...grim situation on the western front demands men. The onsweeping hordes of the enemy can be stopped only by the bodies of men, the will power of men, the exalted spirit of men. The battle may be lost for lack of other things. It cannot be won without men.

Forty-five minutes of song once or twice a week is not too much of a drain, even on the time of the busiest men; and these meetings are really more fun than work, more a pleasure than a duty...
...jubilee will be the only big party of the Freshman class this year, perhaps the only one the class will ever enjoy as undergraduates. The dance, the other festivities, all are secondary to the dormitory singing. They depend entirely on the spirit shown in the preliminary song practice. This coming Monday each hall will have individual singing; Thursday there will be a general practice at Smith Halls...
