...short-history of minor athletics in Harvard is comprehensive, but fails to give any impulse toward the connection of minor sports with the movement for increased numbers of participants in regular physical recreation. It might well have mentioned the recent class in general athletics for Freshmen as a step toward increasing the scope of athletic influences...
...Another step toward the welcoming of Freshmen will be taken when the committee of one hundred meets in Phillips Brooks House his evening. As we understand its duties, they will be to recommend the Brooks House Information Bureau, to urge all Freshmen to attend the first class gathering in the fall, the Brooks House Reception, and to extend an informal welcome, supplementary to that of the Reception and the Senior advisers.

Founded in 1907 by a few men interested in the Public Speaking courses, it held meetings in the Union and different members' rooms, till about a year ago, to increase interest the officers decided to hold fortnightly dinners followed by discussion. Since then the importance of the Club has been steadily growing with a proportionate increase in the membership, till it was found advisable to move into permanent quarters, and the location in the Agassiz House...
