...organized at a meeting held recently, at which J. Davis '15 was elected president and P. R. Danner '13 secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the club is twofold: first to make Harvard more appreciated in Colorado, and second to bring all the Colorado men in the University into closer contact with each other. Dr. H. E. Kahn D.'06, who was influential in bringing about the creation of the club, spoke on the advantages of such an organization. In a letter which was read before the meeting John F. Shafroth, Governor of the State of Colorado, sent his congratulations...
Harvard has emerged from its early provincial position, and has become a centre of intellectual activities. In its path as the leader of American culture, it has come in contact with one of the greatest forms of art of our civilization. Nothing could be more pitiful and blind than for the University to bury itself in books, and pass by an institution which has a purpose so nearly akin to its own. The situation in Europe provides us with an example of what the possibilities are. If any differences exist in the possibilities here, it is that they are greater...
...Seniors and men who will leave College in June, there is a growing tendency to choose courses in the last half-year primarily in order to come in contact with the men who deliver the lectures.

A few nights ago one of the best-known lecturers of Boston talked to a mere handful of men in the Union. The men who drop...
Athletic intercourse has come to stay, but as athletics are not all of any college life, it is evident that Harvard should meet other colleges in other fields. To be sure, we already have a chance to come into intellectual contact through intercollegiate debates, but this contact is far too insignificant in proportion to the importance of our intellectual interests. It is an encouraging step in the right direction, therefore, when we see such a thing as the intercollegiate architectural competition, which has now been established through the generosity of Mr. Lloyd Warren of New York. This spring Harvard...
