...presidents virtually insist that they will appoint no one as instructor who has not been tagged with this title. Others will appoint undoctored instructors, but will not promote them. The thing has almost become a fetish. Yet even a fetish, when it actually exists, must be tolerated if we want to put Harvard men on the teaching staffs of colleges and professional schools. Our facilities enable us to train teachers of business subjects and our standards are high enough to warrant giving this degree if there is a desire...
...whether we put country above right or not, we all want our country to be right, particularly when it is a question of war. Even if one makes one's fatherland monarch of conscience and dictator of action, surely it must be revolting to go killing the enemy when you think he is right.

I trust the CRIMSON will do everything possible to build up interest in the Camps. We want...
...Haughton '99, who was the last speaker, advised every man to investigate both propositions and see the significance of the plans for preparedness. In concluding the meeting, Major Higginson emphasized the importance of getting ready. "If you want a country," he said, "you will have to pay for it and protect...
