We deslre to commend most heartily the action of the men in Harvard representing other colleges, who last night effected a permanent organization with the express purpose of furthering the interests of the graduate department of the University. It is well known that there is no department here which those who have the welfare of Harvard most at heart desire to see built up and increased in effectiveness more than the graduate department. President Eliot gave official expression to this desire in his last annual report. There can be no doubt but that the members of the Harvard Intercollegiate club are placed in a position of peculiar influence, and will be able to do much to advance the interests of this department. A report has gone abroad in the college, due largely to an unfortunate misunderstanding of a remark of one of the members of the newly organized club, that the men who come to Harvard from other colleges owe no allegiance to the University. Such an absurd rumor scarcely needs refutation. It is true that the most of these men come here as graduates of other institutions, and that their first allegiance is due to these institutions; but that they are also loyal to Harvard, and are interested in her advancement, needs no better demonstration than is afforded by the organization of this club with the expressed object of doing whatever they can to build up one of the most important departments of the University.
