On account of the great expansion of the University in recent years, the formation of some such committee as that for the Reception of Students was clearly needed. Newcomers found it harder and harder to adapt themselves to the complex condition which they met; all were inconvenienced and not a few were disheartened. To do away with this state of things, a few members of the Faculty took the matter into hand and put their sympathy into definite form. They bethought themselves of what new students wanted to know, they gathered the needed information, and secured means for easily communicating it to students.

The welcome which the committee has for newcomers is unfeigned. It can help them, and is eager to do so. We advise new students to avail themselves of the committee's, offers without hesitation.
