In the beleaguered garrison, when by degrees the force is weakened, a greater weight of duty and responsibility rests upon those that are left. So, in the University, when our numbers are lessened, there is all the greater need that those remaining should have a double portion of the spirit of their calling.

The war has made havoc among our ranks, taking not only many who were already with us but many prospective students also, who would otherwise be now upon our roll. We cannot regret their going, for they are fighting our battle, facing danger and death for our liberties as well as for their own, placing the name of our country higher on the list of nations; and it is through the service rendered by them and by those with them at the front that we can carry on in quiet and security our studies here at home.

Men with fellow-students on the firing-line are justified in peacefully enjoying College privileges only by living on a similar level of service and self-sacrifice. --Queen's University Journal.
