...last Tuesday evening. President Lowell's address was arranged for the same time by the entertainment committee of the Harvard Union. Although the date for this address was announced long after the publication of the Dramatic Club's dates, I do not feel that either party was to blame. It merely goes to show that if Harvard intends to have her undergraduate activities patronized by undergraduates, she must have some central booking agency where every manager can apply for a specific date and be reasonably sure that he will not be in competition with any other event...

In the field of industrial relations, this is especially true. The average student, (especially if, he is under no immediate necessity to earn his own livelihood) is only too apt to forget how his fellow citizen lives.
