EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - Mr. Barrett Wendell, in his recent account of social life at Harvard, offers what seems to me a wise and timely suggestion, namely, to found a university society, whose aim shall be to bring together more intimately, professor and student. I observed a comment on this same suggestion in one of the Boston papers of to-day, which seems to touch the matter closely. Now that we are a full-fledged university with that larger and broader freedom which attends such station, it is wise to merit this big title by a character equally as big. Do the professors of Harvard wish to become intimate with its students, are they anxious to offer some more personal assistance than mere lecture room intercourse affords? Mr. Wendell says they are. And the student - is he agreed? Everybody knows this. There is, then, very little reason why a university society should not be formed. It is a practicable idea; it is a new idea; it will certainly prove a popular idea, if sufficient support be rendered it. After all, it seems strange that professor and scholar with identical objects in view are personally so indifferent to each other. It reminds one of men who live on the closest business terms, but on the loosest social relations. It will be highly advantageous for all concerned, if our faculty come out from behind their desks, our students from behind their dictionaries, and each learns his man from a standpoint more social than printed text books.
