The Graduates' Magazine.

The second number of the Graduates' Magazine for the present college year appears today and, as usual, contains much of interest to undergraduate students as well as to the alumni. For example, the opening article by S. F. Smith '29, "Recollections by the Author of 'America'," gives an account of the Harvard life of sixty-five years ago, with its many amusing differences from that of today; and there can be no doubt that such an account is more interesting to men now in college than to those who were familiar with the scenes it describes.

Another piece which will appeal to many is "Student Diet at Harvard," by R. W. Greenleaf '77, who has made a careful investigation of his subject. After detailed information about more methods of boarding than would be generally supposed to exist in Cambridge, he offers as a means for meeting the present needs of the college, the plan of a large central kitchen supplying many club tables, each, perhaps, with a local sub-kitchen as an annex to the main one; the whole to be under the control of the college.

"From a Graduate's Window" contains the suggestion that the pictures now on the walls of Memorial be removed to the new art museum when that building is completed. The idea is taken from an imaginary conversation of the characters represented by the portraits, who put their dignity aside when left alone on moonlight nights.

The greatest interest of the number lies in the summary of the work and progress.
