Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prize Orations of the Intercollegiate Peace Association To the reason of the college man, also, the cause of peace makes a peculiar appeal through its simple logic. War is most illogical. It breaks the law of the proper interpretation of causality. When two nations of adja cent territory cannot agree over a boundary line, why should settlement be made in terms of physical force When two nations fail to see eye to eye in adjusting the questions of certain fishing rights, why Should they incarnadine the seas in seeking for the truth to be applied in settlement In civil disputes, why, asks the student, should rifles be employed to discover truth and right War is an intellectual anachronism, a breach of logic. Of course, one may reply, humanity is not logical in its reasoning any more than it is exact in its observing.
