...also declares, in the most emphatic manner, that this highly unnatural conduct constitutes an inestimable service to "mankind, their country, and their College"! On behalf of "those who have risked, and in some cases lost, their lives in the great cause of humanity" is sounded the final appeal: "Let us, then, do our best to render them just honor and homage." Surely, if our country were engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Central Powers, this fact could scarcely be more distinctly applied, nor could the supreme merit attaching to every possible sacrifice entailed for the sake...
...took us two days in Bombay to get our hot weather outfits. Then we moved up on to the great central plain to Poona, where we had a couple of days looking around monist the convalescents from Mesopotamia, and where we left one of the Cornell fellows who came with us.

And aside from the incalculable benefits to the individuals that should urge us toward, some system of military training...
...dead feel that they were sacrificed--Rupert Hughes, for example, who acted without a moment's hesitation? To us who look with reverence upon our living, and with love upon our dead soldiers, it might seem that the profoundest answer to all these questions has been given by another French soldier, himself no mean artist, who gave up his young life for his country last year. "If fate claims the best," he wrote to his mother, "it is not unjust. The less noble who survive will thereby be made better. . . .Nothing is lost. . . The true death would be to live...
