The purpose of the Committee is to advise students who are strangers at Harvard as to how they may establish personal relations with congenial men already at College. In three ways, the Committee believes, the personal life of the College has pleasantly organized itself,--in religious societies, in literary work, and in athletics. Professor Peabody will speak about the religious life of Harvard, Professor Baker about the literary, and Professor Hollis...
