Professor Francis G. Peabody opened the meeting by explaining the purpose of the conferences. They are designee to bring the teachers and students closer together, and to give an opportunity to talk over the deeper issues of university life. The great trouble here at Harvard is the lack of "team play" among the right minded. There are many who have the best interests of the University at heart, but their efforts are less successful because they lack union.

Ten years ago, before the college was so continuously beaten, the honor of a position on the University team was sought after by every man of a class, college popularity being greatly dependent on the prowess of the bat and oar. So long as the positions were desirable, it was natural for them to be filled by men whose families had wealth and social standing; for such men came...
