There are two objects immediately in view in this year's administration of the Infirmary, one of which is the discovery of the best way of making it pay its expenses. The other and more important object, however, is to start the Infirmary on its actual service to sick members of the University, and to gain from the year's experience a practical idea of its working needs, on which, after all, the financial plan must ultimately be based.

The object of the league is to bring working boys between the ages of eleven and twenty, who are necessarily uneducated, under the influence of educated men and higher standards. The twenty Harvard directors will work among the boys of South Boston. Club houses will be secured in which the boys will meet regularly and receive practical instruction looking to the inculcation of principles of better citizenship. The work, which will...
