...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.

That he is the kind of reformer whose methods make almost impossible the task of the real reformers, the men of education and high ideals, men like our own President and the members of his Cabinet, we do not stop to think, Enthusiasm for a good cause is an ennobling thing and the more of it we have the better, but we must also remember that as representatives of the University we must be careful not to lose our heads. In the eyes of the world we are not Smiths and Joneses, but members...
