Ever since the demand for men of practical scientific attainments reached such enormous proportions, the need of a new training school for such men at Harvard has been felt with ever-increasing force, and has led to the birth of the Graduate School of Applied Science. Following the example set by the Faculties of Law and Medicine, the founders of the new institution aimed to place it in the front rank. An opportunity was provided when the McKay bequest became available last January, and the first step towards the desired expansion was made with the appointment of Professors Swain...
...doubts in the least the need of a new gymnasium, as voiced in your recent editorial. But why look to the graduate alone for starting the work? Would it not be better for the undergraduates themselves to make the first move? Dartmouth men have set us a fine example of what can be down by undergraduates in this respect. The plan of campaign can be well left to the Student Council, as a body best representing the College as a whole. Surely every man in College would be willing to help a little. And it is not the among raised...
...communication printed in another column this morning represents the attitude of many undergraduates in regard to the need of a new gymnasium. It is suggested that the first move toward the collection of the necessary funds be made by the members of the University, and that the interest shown by them will induce the graduates to lend a hand. This suggestion is well worth the consideration of the Student Council, and if practicable should be acted on at once. Of course only a small per cent of the whole sum needed could be raised in this way, but even...
...stated in the communication that "no one doubts in the least the need of a new gymnasium." If there are any doubters, their attitude will be completely changed by a visit to the present building. Aside from the lager defects in ventilation and room, there are many smaller ones which are just as objectionable. Apparently the mats are seldom if ever cleaned, for they are usually covered with dust. The shower baths have long ago outgrown their usefulness, and are absolutely inadequate when there are any number of men wishing to use them. In the bottoms of many...
...general topic for the morning session was "Present Educational Needs." M. L. Perrin, professor in Boston University and superintendent of schools in Wellesley, delivered the first address. He pointed out the lack of home influence on students in the grammar schools and said that they must be worked with individually. Professor W. T. Foster '01 of Bowdoin College emphasized the need of backbone in college administration to prevent standards from being lowered for the sake of larger numbers. H. W. Holmes '03, chairman of the Committee on Educational Progress, then read an abstract from his report...
