Dr. Fuller points out a new, or at least generally little thought of, aspect of military discipline in his article in another column, in that it teaches us that it is not only our duty but our privilege to show loyalty to our nation. His statement concerning President Lowell's position in the matter, however, merits some explanation.

It must not be thought that President Lowell has been forced into a premature declaration of his views on preparedness by any action on the part of the students of the University. Whatever action has been taken is a direct result of President Lowell's theories in regard to courses of military instruction in universities and therefore is--it is to be hoped--in accordance with his views. In any case, the awakening interest in preparedness and affairs military among the students proceeds directly from President Lowell and is not in opposition to his ideas, nor will any action be taken that is not fully approved by him.
