...Government we are counting once again on the active co-operation of all undergraduates. Perhaps no one in the country knows the results of over confidence better than the college man. Many and many and athletic victory has been turned into defeat from this cause. It is therefore vital to remember that even in spite of the reduction in the amount from six billion dollars to four and one-half billion dollars this loan still remains the second largest amount ever called for by the United States Government. Plenty of hard work is necessary to make a success of this...
...feel as individuals, towards college reforms, we have not only the right but the duty to contribute our point of view. If we believe the present system ideal, let us say so and tell why.

English labor men have for many years received such educations with the result that they are diplomats as contrasted with the fighting type...
Colleges, especially at the present time, must take an interest--an active interest--in vital questions. It is no longer enough for undergraduates to put the stamp of their disapproval upon a suggestion; active measures to combat it and to influence opinion are not only expected but demanded. In our undergraduate days, few, if any, of us ever realized that the opinion of Harvard College counted for anything, either in the world at large or in the United States. Due to the war and the moving about of men in service we gradually found out that not only...
