A Plea for Enlistments.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Preparedness Week ended officially Saturday night. While the total enrolment established as a goal was not attained, yet enough enthusiasm was aroused and enough enlistments secured to justify the movement as a success. Considerably over a hundred new men were enrolled in one branch or the other. A hundred men may be equivalent to a hundred officers in time of war, enough to command three regiments. But the vital result of the week is not reflected in the number of enlistments; rather in the number of men interested. Preparedness Week has officially ceased, but there is no reason why enlistments should not continue in even greater volume, to pass the seven hundred mark and go beyond. J. T. RODGERS '18.
