...First Report of the Class of 1926 of Harvard College has made its appearance and the interesting statistics prove nothing except that Harvard men are still entering the bond business. In its way this pamphlet is the mature counterpart of the Freshman Red Book, also a very contemporary publication; for the Report is the first record of the whereabouts and the occupations of those men who for one year have been out of college and who may have lost touch even in this short time with their classmates. It is, like the Red Book, a valuable reference and an opportunity...
...however, the University's aim is admittedly to gather a body of students which shall be truly national, having no essential bonds with the New England locale except those of a fine and honorable past. "Not the insular function of a provincial university whose duty is to the youth of that area, but the wider function of a center of learning open to all those in the land who are best fitted to work under her guidance--that is the difficult role which is now Harvard's"--so, wrote the CRIMSON last year, commenting on the University's pamphlet concerning...

If Dr. Faunce's test could ever be satisfactorily applied it would certainly go a long...

Who has not opened to the rules and regulations of the University to find that the first is that all football games except that with Yale are played in the Stadium? What eye has not rapidly scanned the list of Important Dates in the college year, starting with that of registration and blithely swooping over the months to the far distant Commencement? It is the first real bond felt by the Freshman...
