...Influence of President Eliot Upon Education in America" is the title of the leading article, by D. S. Gibbs '27, an exhaustive and complete account of the history of Eliot's theories and of their success. F. V. Field '27 has written on "Harvard's Greatest Birthday Party," an account of the celebration of two years ago. J. F. Barnes '27 has written on his personal qualities, and to complete the undergraduate contributions, there is an article by H. W. Foote Jr. '27 on the funeral services that were held last summer...
