Just as any one individual household saves little white flour by using graham twice a week, so we conserve only a relatively small amount of fuel by dimming out lights. But, as the household, because it has the spirit, helps materially to prevent waste, so the student body can check needless consumption. We shall back up an actual physical profit by the knowledge of having done as much as possible to preserve the vital supplies of the nation...

The very inconvenience that is likely to result helps rather than hinders, as we show thereby our willingness to do what we believe most patriotic.

There seems to be no doubt that the plans for the dance could have been carried through without transgressing Mr. Storrow's order for the closing of public and private places of amusement at 10 o'clock, but any violation of the spirit in which that order was issued would, in effect, be a violation of the order itself.
