the American University Association
last Thursday at Harvard not to con-
denim military training in colleges as a
result of their short experience with
the S. A. T. c.
Some college presidents are quoted
as saying that the experience has
proved that military and academic
training can not go together" said DR..
MacLaurin. Apparently they are for
getful of the fact that they have gone
together with rather conspicuous sue
cess in many of the military and naval
academies OF the world. / am not sug-
costing, of course, that the combina-
ton of military and academic training
such as il to be found at West Point
or Annapolis is either necessary or de-
sirable in the colleges and universi-
ties of this country. All that the ex-
perience Of the S. A. T. c. proved was
what any one would have expected
that such n combination could not pro-
duce satisfactory results in a few
weeks.
IF war Is to remain possibility We
must face the fact that 1t would tend
more and more to be war OF applied
science and the nation that does not
take that lesion to heart by training
men to apply science to war-nke ends
would surely 60 down in the next great
conflict"

December 80 for the benefit not only
Of the 8. A. T. c. men but for other
students who left college to Join the
army or navy.
In an announcement issued by Fred
erick S. Jones, Dean of Yale College,
and Russell II. Chittenden, director of
the Sheffield Scientific School, it Is
stated that full credit will be given to
the s. A. T. G. men whose military
work now and academic work in the
spring are satisfactory. Those who have
been away from college in national
service will also be credited with n
years work II their showing after De-
cember 30 Is acceptable.
Rutgers College has announced q
similar plan for all who return from
the army or navy by January 2. 1t
will resume its last years programme
of studies, including three hours OF
military training per week for fresh
men and sophomores and from five to
six hours, which are elective, for up
per class men. The Reserve Officers
Training Corps will also probably be
resumed.
Three terms instead OF the usual
two will be adopted as the Dartmouth
system this year to accommodate re-
turning soldiers and sailors and also
the s. A. T. c. men. The second term
will start January 8 and the third on
March 81.

students Of the New York University
and Bellevue Hospital Medical College
are s. A. T. c. men. Almost all Of
these will remain,
This university also has already
Strengthened out it's plans for return
to n peace footing. Instead of the
usual college year consisting Of two
terms Of four months each the terms
will be Of three months duration. The
school year will thus start on January
/ next Credits will be allowed for oil
work accomplished under the S. A..
7. c. organization. New students
who have entered branches Of the
army other than the S. A. T. c. will be
permitted to enter on the first OF tho
year. High school graduates will en-
ter a month later.
The military character of the
courses, which have been given with
special reference to preparation for
tho army ana navy. including military
law. sanitation. ordnance and kindred
subjects, has already been changed
and will be conducted until January /
with a view to preparation for civil
life or for credit toward degrees.

they would attend the short term. In
addition the college has $50 boys I'M

been taking the regular civilian
course.
Registration for tho short term will
begin on Monday and class work on
Tuesday" said DIR. Saurel. Major
Harold II. Flower, commanding the s.
A. I, c., is cooperating with us and
has assured us that rehabilitation
will not be permitted to interfere in
the least with tho academic work. No
boys will be taken in from outside the
students army corps for this short
course. Our intention Is to give the
boys an eight week term, spending
double the usual time on about half
the usual number of subjects. In
February we will receive boys from
high schools as usual"
The board OF trustees and the
faculty are now considering the es-
adjustment of n r. 0. T. c. unit

City College curriculum, and It may
be that the work will be given q mill

More than four-fifths of the boys
enrolled in the s. A. T. c. at the New

San JUAN, Porto Rico. Dec. THE
students of the University OF Porto
Rico have presented a petition to the
Legislature asking it to amend the
memorial to President Wilson and the
American Congress so as to demand
complete independence as the only
status compatible with the ideals and
interests Of Porto Rico. Most OF the
petitioners were mustered out OF the
Students Army Training Corps this
week and represent some of the most
prominent families of the island. One.

Rear Admiral Edward d. Taussig,

had received no orders from the
Navy Department concerning the total
rehabilitation of the unit. All who
desire are being permitted to return
to civilian life as inactive naval re-
serves, but about half the boys are
eager to continue their naval work at
the college.
City College Prepared.
To the City College belongs the
palm for rapid reorganization. AL
though the rehabilitation Of the s. A.
T. c. unit Of 1850 men began only a
day or two ago, the authorities have
already organized a term of eight
weeks starting to-day, which will en-
tirely compensate for the time lost in
military training.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S "BUGLS
BLAST"

President Woodrow Wilson deliv-
cred remarkable address to tho
Congress OF the United States last
Wednesday In general, and to the
French Republic, Great Britain and
their allies In particular, incidentally
taking note that the German Empire
and its allies were listening to ali
that he was bold enough to say. We
take 1t that it was dcs'g led and de-
i1vered as diplomatic stroke to
heartcn some Of the allies, who a.s
becoming warweary and wondering
when the end Will come. The Mes
sage was relayed to all parts of tho
civilized world at an approximate
cost to this government Of seven thou
sand dollar1
President Wilson, by this act, has
become spokesman for the Entente
Allies. 1t was supplementary to the
very eloquent del!verance Of Prime
Minister Lloyd George to the labor
leaders. While 1t has been argued
that the Message will tend to awaken
dismay and discomfort in Germany,
1t must be a very optimistic person
who believes that such thing Is
possible. SO far as we are able to
observe, peace conferences are pro-
cecding at Brest Litovsk between the
Germanic Allies and the Russians,
and in the chanccller'es Of America
and Europe between the Entente AL
lies and the Teutonic Allies.
On what other hypothesis could we
base conclusion when both sides
have stated in detail their aims and
PURPOSES? Each side can modify it's
claims as 1t sees ut. Certain 1t Is
that both sides have demanded more
than either expects to receive as a
result Of a compromise, and both
sides will demand more than stated
as result Of a complete victory. The
end Of the war, to our mind, Is in
sight, although 1t may take very
long-distance telescope to see it. 1t
Is a question OF endurance.
IF the United States can sustain life
in the Entente Allies long enough, the
result will be to force Germany to
sue for peace. There are thousands
Of people who do not believe that
