HARVARD NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE CLASS ALBUM Pre face XQQXTIE HARVARD CLASS ALBUM had its beginning in 1890 with a thirty-eight page pamphlet known as the Harvard Portfolio. Its early development was rapid and after eight years it assumed the name of the Harvard CClassj Album with the very definite purpose of furnishing, in cooperation with the Senior Photographic Committee, a complete pictorial record of the Class. In 1904 it absorbed another publication, the Harvard Class Book, which for three years had attempted to compete. Now the Senior Photographic Committee took control and two years later the Harvard Class Album appeared in ,its present role as an official publication of the graduating class. Since then there have been enlargements and alterations in form, but the funda- mental purpose, evolved during sixteen years of experiment, has remained unchanged. To publish as complete a record as possible of the undergraduate history of the graduating classf' involved a gradual increase in the size and scope of the Album. In 1911 the material size and shape was standardized, but the scope must change with conditions. In spite of the almost insurmountable difficulties, the war classes were able, not only to fulfill the original purpose of the Album, but also to adjust the book to meet the new influences by adding a history of military activities, a section devoted to war letters, and a Roll of Honor. The return to peace-time conditions was as easily accomplished, and when people began to look forward not back, this state of mind was mani- fested in the inclusion of an article on the Future of the Class, a feature which has now become permanent. The Class of 1925 is particularly fortunate in having been in college during an important period in the development of the University. The tutorial system is about to matureg scholarship is com- manding more and more the recognition it deserves, the Committee on the Choice of Vocations is establishing a closer link between undergraduate and graduate careers, an extensive building program is under way, and through it all Harvard is the popular subject of a wave of destructive criticism. Any record of a class which has been so closely concerned with such developments would be incomplete unless it reflected them. By including the tutors under the Officers of Administration and Instruction we have tried to record the personal guidance of the tutorial system. By publishing under a scholar- ship section the names of the men who have attained the first two groups of the Rank List, we have attempted to give recognition to the scholar. By grouping the Faculty in their respective divisions and by publishing an article on the relationship between the fields-of concentration and vocations, we have added only another page to the volumes already written about college as a preparation for life. The new era of building expansion, the greatest in the history of the University, and the wave of adverse criticism of Harvard affairs could hardly have been treated specifically. Yet it was felt that a short history of Harvard would not only give an opportunity for the mention of the transform- ation which is taking place in the Yard and across the river, but would also serve to remind us that there are traditions which no criticism, just or unjust, can ever change. The Committee is greatly indebted to Dean Greenough for his cooperation in the creation of the scholarship section, to Mr. Mayo for his history of the University, and to Mr. Leighton for his article on vocations. We also take this opportunity of' thanking Miss Magruder and Miss Frost for their invaluable assistance in the compilation of the class lists. We are especially indebted to Miss Mullen, to Miss Brooks of the Service Bureau, to Mr. and Mrs. Bourbon and Miss Curry of the Notman Studio, to the Suffolk Engraving Company, and to the Andover Press, for their ready cooperation.
