...most opportune time to initiate a regular exchange of lecturers. There is a considerable number of distinguished Latin Americans who would be instructing in France and Germany, were it not for the war. If we should begin our reciprocal visits now, a larger number of the southern continent's distinguished educators would come to the United States than when conditions abroad were normal...
Some steps have been taken recently to spread the University's reputation in the southern continent. Probably the greatest influence has been the fact that out of the three United States ambassadors in South America, two--Professor Frederic Jesup Stimson '76, of the Department of Government at Buenos Aires, and Edwin Vernon Morgan '90, at Rio de Janeiro--are Harvard men. Again, Professor Lima's visits to Cambridge have been useful in promoting the proposed system. As an additional step the University is contemplating the issue of an edition of the regular catalogue in Spanish for distribution in Latin America...
...hardly surprising. For, conversely, few Americans have heard that Argentina has a university established twenty-three years before Harvard was in existence. Still, when our entire nation's acquaintance with Spanish America is slight, and when the University possibly ranks no better than fourth among American institutions in its southern influence, our broad considerations are backed up by some selfish desire to take the lead...
Faculty members in South America, says Dr. Klein, take more prominent places in politics than our own professors do. Granted that our most immediate interest is commercial, and that time will be needed to build up closer intellectual relations, one further practical gain will result. The southern scholars, with their training in public affairs, can teach us the very problems of law, banking, and transportation, ignorance of which now seriously handicaps American business houses.

Harte '17, who figured prominently in the winning of the intercollegiate championship last summer, will devote his time in the spring to baseball, though he will undoubtedly compete in the intercollegiates next summer. W. Rand, 3d '17 showed great improvement last year, especially on the southern trip, and should be even better this spring. Other men who have won their insignia and who are available are A. F. Doty '16, J. Wooldredge '16, L. Curtis, 2d '16, and J. S. Brown, Jr. '17. J. S. Pfaffman '16, who was ineligible last year, will be a likely...
