...explanation of that University's method of awarding war credits to returning officers and enlisted men. Erroneous and in completed reports of Syracuse's action appeared several weeks ago in the eastern papers, and gave rise to the editorial in the CRIMSON of February 12, entitled "Unhonored and Unsung." We are glad to learn that these reports are not correct, though we still question the advisability of distinguishing between men technically trained officers and untrained privates in awarding war credits; the University's system of treating all men returning from the service exactly alike appears to us the only wise...
...life. The great rallying cry of the Allies has been, "Make the world safe for Democracy." Surely no more direct refutation of this basic principle of equality could be possible than in singling out certain war heroes to receive honor from their Alma Mater, and leaving others unhonored and unsung. It is not difficult to appreciate the feelings of the enlisted man who, after sacrificing his studies to serve his country, returns to find his service to country and college ignored by--the--one who should accord him most honor.

The days seem all alike--except that we are served 'chocolat' instead of black, sugarless coffee on Sunday mornings--and they slip by, unsung, into the tumbled yesterdays of 'a little while ago.' I was in tremendous luck to be able to 'graft' my way into this section on the eve of its first real action--and once the action got started it seemed self-perpetuating. I have been an 'extra-man'--so my chance to see things...
...jubilation of the class poet. Many men have gone to the four corners of the country. Many are in France, where the remainder will soon go, fighting for the one cause, although dissevered and apart. They have gone as the workers of the world go, unheralded and unsung...
There has been some talk of omitting for the graduating class this year all those traditional festivities which he served for other classes as the pleasantest occasion of the four-year course. It is doubtful whether any large purpose would be served by having 1917 pass form college unsung and unrejoiced. The German arms will not by one day be rendered less invincible. Nor will the members of the class be rendered more stoic for enduring the fortunes...
