Yesterday's vote resulted in a majority for universal training surprisingly large. It is doubtful if even the closest follower of opinion in the University could have forecast the result. Three quarters of all the men voting expressed their wish for a universal scheme of preparedness. Harvard's stand has been strongly taken.
