...matter of fuel conservation, as I understand, is in the hands of Mr. Storrow, and even though he may advocate "early to bed and late to rise"--"a surely ill-advised principle,"--so much as I dislike as a liberty-loving American, to be regulated under a rapidly tending Prussianistic system.

...probable that he did not contract the disease in Cambridge. Some 45 men were allowed to register late because they were held in the militia by the difficulty with Mexico. In nearly every instance their previous records were such as to enable them to maintain their standing even though the necessity of making up lost work forced a reduction in their program of studies for the first half-year...

When these tests were not practicable, volunteers were given credit on the basis...

It would mean scores of expert shots just so much further along in their training for combat. Though rifle teams and gun clubs use small calibre weapons, it is with these that the soldier is given his first and fundamental training, "gallery practice." Expertness with a sub-calibre rifle on a college rifle team would put a man through this training even before he had entered actual military...
