...desirable--that Harvard men should have a first chance of coming to Emmanuel if they wish. Our population now is so much occupied with war work that service is difficult unless we are able to have a continuous stream of such officers--that is to say, it would be well if the rooms set apart could be occupied continuously during term-time by relays of officers from the United States...
...believe Professor Ripley would make a good commissioner, and that Governor McCall would do well to renew the nomination with the new council soon to take office. Ripley has had varied experience in practical affairs as well as in academic life. He believes in the minimum wage idea, and we could hardly expect a board to do less than be sympathetic with the purposes for which it was founded.

Mr. Taft is well within the truth when he says that food conservation here, and the sparing of food supplies for Italy, France and England, is the only effective means that we have at this moment of fighting the common enemy. In treating as an enemy the man who has under his command this little fight of ours with wheat and corn and meat and sugar, the senators are in simple fact weakening our allies...
