The coming May will bring with it the twenty-fifth anniversity of Mr. Eliot's election as president of this University. Among the various clubs of Harvard graduates in the country, a movement is already on foot to ensure some appropriate recognition of such a long and successful term of office. In the whole history of Harvard, but one president has served for a longer term; none certainly has met with greater success.
Though President Eliot has not been in close touch with the students; though his opinions and actions have often not been in accord with undergaduate sentiment or judgment; no member of the University can fail to feel gratitude toward him for the position he has so well helped Harvard to maintain. This gratitude would find its suitable expression on an occasion like the coming anniversary. What form such an expression should take, we do not suggest. The idea should come, as it doubtless will, from the students themselves.
