...President of the Associated Harvard Clubs to be submitted at the twenty-first annual meeting at Buffalo in June, contains a proposal for a combination of the Harvard Alumni Association, the Associated Harvard Clubs, and the Association of Class Secretaries. The plan will be submitted for ratification in the belief that a centralized organization would be better able to keep the graduates in touch with the University than the present decentralized system.

And at the root of most of our social problems lies that of education. It has been customary -- too customary -- to dismiss any difficult problem with the statement: "If we had better education this would take care of itself."
