"What advantage do you think you ought to have found at Harvard which you have failed to find?" is the matter of closer relations between the Faculty and students. It seems to be an almost universal regret among graduates that they did not utilize to better advantage the opportunity while in College of becoming personally acquainted with such great characters as Dean Shaler and Professor Norton.
