HARVARD'S SACRIFICE

Once more the war has been brought home to the University, and this time with more force and power than ever before. The War Records show that the number of Harvard men who have sacrificed their lives is steadily and rapidly growing. We cannot read the University's roll of honor without that intense and personal sorrow which alone can make us fully realize the great duties we will have to perform, and the great sacrifices we shall have to bear.

The University's total of deaths has been rising at an increasing rate for the last year. We can have no hope that the rate will sink again. More and more we shall be called upon to face the bitter and yet proud griefs that our allies have suffered before us. We honor our dead as brave men who have given everything for a cause, but we must not stop to mourn too long. The greatest service we can do them is to "carry on" against the power that made them die.
