...progress of the University. The future success of any university is so greatly dependent upon the graduates of the institution that an alumni publication of the right kind is almost an absolute necessity. The Bulletin is the vehicle for the expression of graduate opinion and the chief link between the alumni and the important phases of college life. It also serves as an information bulletin to all graduates in which they may read from week to week of the doings of their classmates and friends. The Bulletin publishes each week a necrology of those men who have died recently...

This would enable the student to come into closer contact with the teacher, who could discuss with him subjects of immediate interest and link them up with his academic work. The tutor could also suggest and encourage reading in a more intimate way than can be done with a large class.

Some men have far too many activities to be able to digest them; others do not know what to do with their time. The proposed division of activities at Yale, which is outlined on another page, shows an effort to establish a balance...
...wish to one and all of our fellow-workers in the war a safe return from the scenes of their labors. They have added lustre even to the fame of Harvard; and have forged a new and enduring link in the bonds of loyal regard by which we shall ever be united. Believe me, My dear Mr. President, ARTHUR JAMES BALFOUR...
