...portrait of Mr. Edgar H. Wells is prefixed to an extremely readable account of the re-organized Alumni Association and its aims by the general secretary himself. Mr. Wells's clear view of the possibilities of his position, along with his enthusiasm and disinterested loyalty, augurs well for the success of the undertaking. Mr. H. von Kaltenborn closes a candid review of the season's University dramatic productions with a plea for the formation of a Harvard Dramatic Society, which shall unite the best talent now scattered over a large number of club performances.

They tell pretty much the old story, and popular feeling just now is clearly the other way; but the President addresses himself primarily, not to undergraduates, or to the public, but to the college authorities of the country; and with them his clear, vigorous arguments are likely to prove effective...
