...ages from 18 to 21. Here is a serious possibility, but one which must be faced in all resolution. The Civil War was largely won by the men of these ages. Among them is much of the material which experience has shown best able to stand the strain of battle. The disturbance of their education, though most unfortunate, is less threatening to the country than the disruption of economic and industrial conditions which would follow the taking of men in the ages beyond the present draft limit. Of course it will not become a proper measure until after the largest...
...meditate in this icy strain, we must admit there is a good side to this winter drill. It is extremely healthy and it wakes us up. Though a sacrifice, it has to be done, as going indoors is decidedly preventive of good military manoeuvres. We want to stay outdoors as long as we possibly can; it is the same and sensible though uncomfortable solution. We have started this drill and we will carry it through, ralic or shine, warm or cold.

He seems to forget that the war started in the East, and that Russia would long since have been crushed but for the aid given...
...Kreger '16 corroborated Coach Haines, adding that it was the duty of every young man to fit himself physically to stand the strain of a soldier's life. The Military Science courses this year offer less physical and more mental training. It is, therefore, a patriotic duty of the men in these military courses to take some outside from of physical training. As the rowing will be arranged to avoid all conflicts with the military work, there can be no excuse offered on that ground...
