President Eliot returns to Cambridge today after his two months' trip to the Southwest and South. His journey can well be compared with a march of triumph, for everywhere he has been received with the enthusiasm shown only to the greatest men of the nation.

The enthusiasm aroused among the graduates by the visits of the President and his colleagues and the interest shown in their addresses by strangers cannot fail to increase the registration from the West and South to such an extent that it can no longer be said that Harvard does not represent the entire nation...
