Quote

This war proceeds along its terrible path by the slaughter of infantry...I say to myself every day. What is going on while we sit here, while we go away to dinner or home to bed? Nearly, 1000 - Englishmen, Britishers, and the other is America...Everything else is swept away.

The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance.
