...purposes of the organization are to draw the foreign students more closely into the life of the University and to provide them with social opportunities and conveniences which they, as strangers, can less readily find under present conditions. With this club the University will derive more benefit than at present from the large number of students representing the manners and customs, special abilities, opinions, feelings, and points of view characteristic of many foreign countries. The large foreign contingent at Harvard is an "asset" as yet incompletely realized by the University for its own advantage...
...Harvard Mission has received from Rev. George P. Knapp '87, a foreign missionary located in Harpoot, Turkey, a collection of foreign coins, mostly of Turkish and Greek countries, which have been put on sale at Phillips Brooks House for the benefit of the mission.

Unless college training has radically changed within the last twelve months, it would be a civic tragedy to turn over the government of American cities to men chosen simply because they were college men. In talking to our professors, to our students...
Self-government for the benefit of all the governed will be an idle dream until inside information about the facts of the government becomes possible. Monopoly of information must precede monopoly of franchise. When all men are looking, corrupt politicians walk quite as straight a line as college presidents. As the Independent said recently, in urging a permanent endowment for the Bureau of Municipal Research, "Attempts at reform have failed in New York and elsewhere because the Republican and Democratic Tammany Halls of our cities have had inside information and have been able to make black look white because...
