...significance of the whole collegiate movement for preparedness. "I didn't know," the average Senior remarks, "that the University of California was doing anything in military training." That's just it. California is so far away that it is hard for us, in our restricted sphere, to see whether they are doing anything at all. We never fully realize the wide scope of a great movement until it is clearly summarized for us, as Mr. Champ has done in good fashion.

...present is in a predicament similar to the one just described. Nothing more than a live interest on the part of both undergraduates and graduates is needed to obviate the present difficulties.

People outside of Cambridge, our rivals at Cornell and Yale keep a watchful eye on Harvard's track activities. No one here seems to care whether Harvard has a track team or not. No one knows when a relay team is entered in a meet, and no one congratulates the victorious runners. What are the reasons for this unprecedented condition of apathy...
