...philanthropy than may be at first apparent, and I believe you are going to do much more good than you may have hoped to do. You will help other people, of course; but not only those with whom you now come in contact, but the communities in which you live. You will get a knowledge of the thought and life of the masses of the people; you will get interior views of economic and social problems which will be of very real use in civic and political as well as philanthropic work; in that kind of political work which...
There are really comparatively few men, except those who live so near the College that in case of sickness they would go home, who would not have occasion during the year of using an infirmary. Those who would signify their intention of going home if taken sick might, as the communication suggests, be exempted from the fee. With this restriction it could hardly be said that "the many were paying for the few." There are some, to be sure, who would not use the infirmary, but these few should not hinder any movement which is so thoroughly desireable...

Again there are those who, having plenty of mony, would rather be cared for in their rooms or go to some private hospital than be taken to the infirmary.

...large as in past years. The danger which attaches to so large a gathering within so small a space has been pointed out already; and the inconvenience of it is patent. With the sentiment-"the tree has been used so many years," I have no sympathy. I would not live in an old building, on that account, if I could live in a new one, with its numerous conveniences. Harvard has outgrown many things, and she can well outgrow some more. A tree exercise, with plenty of room for every one, would be a glorious innovation...
...members of the graduating class time to entertain their guests more fittingly and to enjoy the exercises themselves as they have not been able to do for several years. It would heighten the enjoyment of a very large majority of the guests and inconvenience very few. Those visitors who live in the neighborhood of Boston could as easily come to Cambridge two days as one if they cared to attend both days. To those who come from a distance one day more or less would make little difference...
