...serious handicap in getting the large first year classes under way every fall has in past years been the fact that all of the students are unacquainted with the Law School's methods. Consequently the problem before the investigating committee will be not only to attract more College men to the Law School, but also to spread knowledge of the School among Harvard undergraduates. In this way a large part of each entering class will be familiar with the requirements of the peculiar system of study, and will help to get the entire class accustomed to the routine work...
...large increase over the report for pervious years. This year will probably not come up to that figures by a small margin; it certainly will not exceed it. This is easily explained when it is remembered that so far this year, there have been few preachers to attract unusually large audiences.

When one glances at the telegram reproduced on the cover of the current "Harper's Weekly" and reads the eulogy within, he realizes that these have to do with no ordinary man. If a tribute on the cover of a magazine in a shop-window can attract and impress the passersby, what sort of interest should the man himself arouse? Now the man honored by President Wilson's telegram is in our midst, and yet few men seem aware of it. Or is it Harvard provincialism cropping out again, when one of the foremost citizens of the world, a statesman...
