...good cause to congratulate itself on the appointment of Professor Briggs as Dean. Probably none of the younger professors is so well known and liked. Mr. Brigg's position during the last few years as head alternately of several of the large English courses has brought him into contact with a larger number of men than it falls to the lot of most instructors to know.

The outcome of this feeling has been the formation of a University extension society composed partly of Harvard men, partly of persons desirous of coming into contact with college influences. The society has its headquarters in the Prospect House, Cambridgeport, and has adopted the name, "Prospect Progressive Union." It proposes first to bring wage-earners and students together in pleasant social relations. Further than this its aims are entirely educational.
