...letters, Mr. Bryce is very well known in America. His great work "The American Commonwealth," which appeared in 1888, was the first in which the institutions of the United States had been thoroughly discussed from the point of view of a historian and a constitutional lawyer. After a visit to South Africa in 1897, he published a volume of "Impressions" of that country, which carried great weight when the Boer War was being discussed. In his early life he was a notable mountain-climber, ascending Mount Ararat in 1876; and, later, was author of a book on mountain climbing...

During the summer the Seniors who were appointed by Dean Castle to act as Freshman advisers did a certain amount of work with the view of welcoming the new students of the College and smoothing out their difficulties. For the most part the intercourse between adviser and Freshman was necessarily by letter, and up to now it may have been impossible for the two to meet. This morning the CRIMSON publishes a list of all the Freshmen with their College addresses, and thus the way is made clear for every Senior to see the men on his list...
