Harvard undergraduates have not been slow to realize the war's obligations. Our enrolment has shrunk to one-half its normal figure. Our student body has fully supported every war cause presented to the nation. There are times, however, when students have seemed to fail their country's demands. The charge of Harvard's indifference is largely exaggerated, but it is not entirely unfounded. A glaring example of it is afforded in the failure of the University to contribute properly to the second Red Cross Fund...

There is the need of supporting the organization which keeps our military establishment fit; there is the great appeal of alleviating human suffering; and there is the baser but important stimulant to action of the smallness of the solicited contribution. If such appeals fail to pierce the student's armor of indifference, Harvard's future is a sad one. Everyone has at least something to give.

If there are students who, because of living outside of Cambridge or for any other reason, have not yet been asked to subscribe, they are requested to leave contributions...
Registration lists for delegates to the annual Student Conference at Northfield, which is to be held this year from June 13 to June 21, inclusive, are now open. All undergraduates who desire to attend are requested to leave their names with Arthur Beane '11 as soon as possible. Although no general canvass for enrolment among the students will be made this year, all men who are interested in the work of the convention may obtain at the Phillips Brooks House descriptions of Northfield and an outline of the history and plans of the conference...
