...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.

There is a general feeling manifest in every field of human endeavor at the present time: a belief that the great struggle of the last five years has made new methods of life necessary, that there must be closer co-operation between capital and labor. 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."
