The members of the committee of the Harvard Memorial Society held a meeting last evening at the residence of the presidence of the president, Dr. Justin Winsor and discussed in detail the plands for work during this year which were outlined last spring. It was decided that each committee should meet separately as soon as possible and begin the active work of the society.

It will be remembers that the object of the society is, as stated in the constitution, "to foster among students interest in the historical associations of Harvard and to perpetuate the traditions of her past." This end is to be aimed at in several ways. In the first place an attempt will be made to mark with tablets or otherwise all rooms that have been occupied by distinguished graduates, and all buildings or sites having interesting historical associations with the University. This work will be under the charge of the Memorial Committee, who will make if their task each year to inform themselves by personal inquiry and research of all rooms and sites which may fitly be commemorated; and to secure from the families of distinguished men who have had college rooms, portraits, autographs or other things which can appropriately be preserved in the rooms as transmittenda.

One of the most important branches of the society's work will be a course of four lectures to be given after the midyears on subjects connected with the history of Harvard. It is designed to make these lectures events of very great interest to all Harvard men who would like to be more fully acquainted with the history of the University and its influence on the country and with the lives of its most distinguished graduates. President Eliot and Mr. John C. Ropes will be two of the speakers this year.

The Finance Committee of the society will raise the money required for the work thus outlined and from the expressions of interest already received from many graduates, no serious difficulty is anticipated in this regard.

The Memorial Committee will select as soon as possible two or three of the places most deserving of commemoration, and, with the permission of the Corporation, will erect fitting tablets. It will be of great assistance if all students who have information of interest connected with this work, or who are acquainted with sources of information which may not be generally known, will give the committee the benefit of their knowledge.

The committee for this year are made up as follows:

Memorial Committee-Justin Winsor, chairman; A. C. Train, secretary; Charles Eliot NOrton, Andrew MacFarland Davis, G. L. Paine, J. A. Gade, J. G. Palfrey, H. E. Addison, F. S. Hoppin, J. D. Greene.

Committee on Lectures-Albert Bushnell Hart, chairman; W. R. Thayer, A. M. Kales, S. Heckscher, E. V. Frothingham.

Finance Committee-A. C. Coolidge, C. Dickinson, J. C. Fairchild, A. H. Bullock.

The active members of the society from the senior class now number fifteen, and as many more will be elected within a few days. A social meeting of the society will be held in about three weeks and informal addresses and reminiscenses from some of the graduate members are expected.
