c f t b ! ' b b b b I- b b b bb b b b b b b ask anything rgore. Early ig th|e year President Harringtog won all hearts by the t]earty declaratiog of his interest ig athletics, and of f]is desire to prorgote this feature of College life. He is with us in our stand for clean sport. In h)is chapel talks to tf]e corps f]e is particularly happy. He never speaks except wheg he f-jas sometf]ing to say. He is forceful; he commands attentiog; h[is advice is pointed and sound. Ig the last three years tf|e work of the College f]as beeg greatly extended; new de¬ partments have beeg created; gew laboratories and other buildings have been erected and equipped, and the curriculurg greatly extended. Ig his first public utterance Pres¬ ident Harringtog announced that his policy would be further to strengthen existing de¬ partments, rather than to add to their gumber; and to develop the College along indus¬ trial lines. And, somehow, he is getting things done. The physical conditiog of the campus is improving rapidly; there is little or go complaint of the fare at the Mess Hall; and even the ‘ ' Nat has lost some of its terrors. At go time during the past winter did we awake to find the rgercury at the freezing point and the wood-pile at the vanishing point. Tl ese facts may constitute merely “a curious concatenatiog of circumstances,’ but we believe there is a reasog. A fine spirit pervades the corps, and tlqe belief is general that witf| Sargent as Com¬ mandant and Harringtog as President tf]e above-mentioned Committee will ere long retire into innocuous desuetude, resolving itself, perhaps, into a rgoot court. Serious offenses against good order and discipline are obsolescent. Tf|e student whjo commands the respect of his fellows is thje student who studies; wf]o is gentlemanly ig his demeanor. And while tf]is conditiog has not come about wholly withig President Harringtog’s brief term of office, yet it is a conditiog in which) he takes pride, and which) h]e will do much to promote. His administratiog dates back only a few m on h s but h e h as beeg tried ig be lab¬ oratory of College life and we find “the elements so rgi xe d in h)irg ' as to proclaim his fitness for his gew work. The analysis shov s a h)igh percentage of Administrative Ability, Energy, Progressivegess, Zeal; Gray Matter ig Excess; with) only a “trace of Inexperi¬ ence, and this will be filtered out og adding a suitable quantity of Time. First the blade, theg the ear; after that the full corg in the ear. May his labors ig behalf of the College be rewarded by an abundant harvest of good things!
