Carry On.

Reports from eastern universities show that last semester an inordinately large number of students were discharged on account of deficiency in their studies. Western institutions did not figure so prominently.

At Michigan the same deficiency has not been so apparent; nevertheless, the tendency for slighting the studies is prevalent among the undergraduates. It is evident they are expecting clemency under present conditions. But such expectations should not be cherished. The country's position in the war necessitates that there should be less laxity than ever.

The student must learn that concentration on the work at hand is the best preparation for war. He must learn that thoroughness in the execution of civil and military duties is essential. He must not, by his slovenliness, practice sabotage with existent machinery. He must strive to make college more valuable than usual. He must carry on. --Michigan Daily.
