...early for undergraduates to consider what service they can give toward the prosecution of the war during the long vacation. No able-bodied man need be idle this summer in face of the demand for hundreds of thousands of workers from farms, railroads and shipyards. There is no reservoir of skilled labor to fill the needs of these trades. Unskilled men must be trained and of these the college man is best fitted on account of his education to acquire quickly the necessary ability. But a partly finished college education is no "Open Sesame" to a position of command. College...
Other colleges in New England are making a survey of the industrial capabilities of their students and canvassing the needs of employers engaged in war work with a view to placing their men in the vacation war service for which they are individually fitted. Such a survey should be made at Harvard. There are many men here willing and able to give valuable service whose lack of acquaintance and connection with business concerns will prevent them rendering it. Such men, without an organized survey of capabilities and needs, are likely to drift into comparatively unimportant summer employment for which they...

A regular Yale baseball team is being organized and a crew probably will be, though nothing definite has been determined in regard to the latter. Consequently, it is now up to the University to meet the Elis half...
...Yale, recently provided for, will be a decided step further away from the normal undergraduate curriculum and will provide an intensive schooling in every subject which will contribute directly to the training of an artillery officer. The course will begin next fall and continue as long as the war lasts. It will carry the candidate through the theory and practice of field artillery up to a point where a final course at a regular Reserve Officers' Training Corps will result in the production of an exceptionally capable officer...
...college man who completes the work and is sent to a camp to receive final training, some sort of war degree or certificate will probably be granted. The student in the select course of the scientific school may substitute the R. O. T. C. course for a large part of his work and receive his Ph.B. degree at the end of three years. The Sheffield man taking an engineering or chemical course in college will pursue his technical studies during the R. O. T. C. course and thus prepare for a commission in the Engineers' Reserve Corps...
