A chapel poll of Cornell students shows 110 of 474 voters are pacifists who would not support any war. Only 54 would support war in any circumstance, and 310 oppose unless attacked. Freshmen and sophomores mostly lean pacifist while seniors show mixed views. President Roosevelt's navy program draws little support and a war referendum is favored.
