...value of the Living Room lectures cannot be overestimated. Their success next year depends in large measure upon the forehanded efforts that the officers make this spring toward getting the right men to say that they will speak. Perhaps it may be difficult to get definite replies as yet, but every step taken now will make progress next fall both easier and quicker. The choice of dates might, well be left until then.

...Junior class to act in that capacity this year. Out of that number, although the majority of the invitations have been out for some time, only 86 have taken the pains to send in answers to the committee. As a complete list of ushers is essential to the success of the day's program, the tardy acknowledgement by the Juniors is a serious check in the completion of the plans and it is hoped that all members of 1912 concerned will send in their replies at once.
