The history of arms races indicates that such a development is most likely if the prospective counter-measure, in this case perhaps of a toxicological character, appears cheaper than the defensive objective, in this case, fallout shelters. An adequately massive shelter program...

Military History appeared in 1915, "Historical Aspects of the Present War" in 1917, and a congeries of special courses in Red Cross work and trench warfare technique the following summer Classes in "Americanization" appeared in the catalogue for 1920 illustrating perhaps an academic reaction to the Great Red Scare Physical Education, the most popular course in the early decades of the Summer School, disappeared completely in 1933, as students' academic interest continued to increase...
