...report. It is simply absurd to expect satisfaction while the Hall is crowded far beyond its capacity. To secure a definite policy in the management of the Hall, some such reorganization as would be effected by the appointment of an executive committee seems absolutely necessary. The steward must be kept aware of his responsibility to the students, and this can be done only when the students themselves take an active interest in the policy of the Hall.

The average Harvard student of today is physically much superior to the average Harvard man of thirty years ago. Harvard's growth has virtually kept abreast of the growth of population in the United States, gaining about 30 per cent. every ten years. In comparison with other universities, Harvard and Yale hold a peculiar position, which they will, doubtless, continue to occupy...
