...graduating class of the Harvard Medical School will hold Class Day on the grounds of the School, Longwood avenue, Boston, today. Four years ago the Seniors held a successful Class Day, at which there was an attendance of seven hundred; but owing to a lack of class spirit, a similar attempt has not been made until this year. The class of 1912 although small hopes by regenerating the custom to make the Medical School Class Day as regular a feature of the program of the Medical School, as is Harvard Class Day on the program of the College...

The benefit to the men taught is only subordinate. If social service takes hold of the workers so slightly, if they lack that optimistic enthusiasm which stimulates such people as Miss Jane Addams and Mr. Jacob Riis, if they undertake their tasks only with a half-hearted and sentimental enthusiasm, then the result is sure to be obviously lacking in effect. If the social service workers take so little interest in their...
