The demand for the President's report which has exhausted all of the first and nearly all of the second edition, is a strong proof of the interest taken by the students in the affairs of the University. We doubt if in any former year the report has been as generally circulated in the college as at the present time. It is certainly gratifying to think that such interest is taken in the progress of the University, and especially in the operation of the elective system, to the discussion of which, so large a part of the recent report is given. Indeed, a lack of interest in these matters would not be very complimentary, in what it would imply to students at Harvard. We are glad that the report has been so widely read, and think that its wide circulation is well calculated to increase the influence of Harvard.
