We were glad to see in the Times of Wednesday

a letter from several distinguished Heads of Orford Colleges urging that every citizen should forthwith be placed "under orders" by the Government. There was also a letter from the Vice. Chancellor of Cambridge University describing a scheme which is already afoot there for classifying the services that can be rendered to the State by the Six hundred resident members of the Senate. The answers to the appeal have been most encouraging. Of course what the country wants is the same thing, and something more. It wants to be regulated—to be told what it must do.
