...from the point of view of the athletes who participate in the various sports in the college the distinction between major and minor seems to mean very little. A soccer player, for instance, takes his training as seriously, is just as worked up over the thought of getting into the Yale game, and will as willingly give his last effort for the cause as any football or hockey enthusiast. In tennis, another of the lesser sports, the team competitor has even more responsibility to keep on the top of his form, since he is individually responsible for the success...

To stay-at-homes with a clear wrong view, the war might seem a campaign, a crusade, a cause; but to the men who did its manual labor it was "a bellyache, a confused strife for boxcar space, a useless march, a grudge at troopers and gunners and wagoneers, a surfeit of hills and towns and faces and sunshine...
