...Declaration of War a year ago, the United States has undergone the acid test. And how has she stood it? Truthfully, we may answer: well. Our youths have flocked from every state, willing, at least in spirit; our efforts to make up for years of unpreparedness have been honest, though sometimes ineffectual; and, taken all in all, our national spirit has been praiseworthy.

...granted appear in separate lists appended to the regular lists of each class and department of the University, in the annual catalogue.

Death remains the one unalterable decree. There are few times when this last resort need be brought into play. The protection of society demands that killing be the reward of those whom no other form of punishment can restrain from nefarious ways. Foremost in this class stand the spies within a nation at war. When that nation is forced to devote every energy in a conflict which threatens...
