Last but not least the characteristic likeness of Maj. H. L. Higginson '55, is most fittingly given frontispiece honors. The explanatory, illustrated introduction of the Major is thrice welcome just at the present time. Classes which have gone before know him; the three upper classes know him and 1921 may take the Illustrated's picture of him as a war time introduction...
Were Italy's allies to blame for Cadorna's terrible defeat on the upper Isonzo? Probably that question will be discussed for a good many years to come. The Italians' own confidence in their military competence may be taken by the British and French writers as an excuse for British, French and American neglect, but it excuses the Allies only in a slight degree.

The extremists, led by Hindenburg, Ludendorf and Mackensen, will inevitably regain the upper hand, Austria will revive in courage, and as a corollary, the discontented elements in the allied nations will make use of this opportunity to embarrass their governments. The immediate future seems black indeed; only constructive statesmanship of the first order can counter the discouragement and distress. But if the justice and unselfishness of our cause is sufficiently felt, then defeat should...
