...investigate non-essential extra-curriculum activities, and to provide means for making a more efficient military organization. Motions have also been passed by the Council to the effect that the councils recommend a concentration of the undergraduates along military lines; that they take a stand in favor of undergraduates remaining in the university to complete their training; and that they encourage the placing of artillery training corps in preparatory schools. The council has also agreed to co-operate in maintaining discipline in the military organizations at Yale...

The stand taken in regard to the Junior Dance will probably influence the vote of the College next Tuesday in no small measure. By all means let us have the dance, but let us not have it when to hold it would be unwise and unpatriotic...
