...should be better understood by the students, that their decisions should no longer be forced on the students without their giving the students a full knowledge of reasons and causes. Members of the faculty have continually felt that they were at cross purposes with the students, that the students misunderstood them and their motives, and that they often misunderstood the students. This desire for communication, mutual understanding and even co-operation, resulted last year in the appointment of the Committee of Conference, and all the details of the work were left to be arranged by the committee themselves...
...care to discuss the value of the training afforded by any particular course of study, but we do think that in both instances the true purpose and meaning of a liberal college education is misunderstood. Are we here to prepare for our professions? Then what do the professional schools signify? What we want of Harvard College is not a summa cum laude or a diploma and degree, but the best liberal education that she can afford us. We cannot afford to graduate with the thought that our education is complete. It is only begun. What does "Commencement" mean...

We do not know the reasons that actuate the distinguished journalist in question, but can only attribute them to some personal feeling. We feel sure that the management...
...seems that the committees' former notice on this subject was either misunderstood or else overlooked by the class, for very few lists have yet been sent in. The committee wish it fully understood that all lists must be handed in before April 3d, to ensure getting the pictures by Class Day. Those men who do not send in their lists before the spring recess have only themselves to blame, if their orders do not come, for Mr. Pach has declared plainly that he cannot promise to fill belated orders before commencement...
