The Harvard Graduates' Magazine for the quarter beginning June 1 is now out. The contents are of the usual interesting character. The first article, on the University Grounds and Buildings, by R. S. Peabody '66, calls attention to the lack of arrangement of our grounds and buildings and suggests that some scheme be adopted for future building and that an art commission be founded. Nothing is more sadly needed at Harvard. Next follows a lengthy obituary of Francis Channing Barlow of the class of '55, by Edwin H. Abbot '55. "From a Graduate's Window" suggests changes in the manner of conducting the Commencement dinner. Charles Gordon Ames writes the obituary of William Henry Furness of the class of '20, who died in Philadelphia last January. "The Essential in Rowing," by R. H. Dana '74, gives as the reason for the failure of the recent Harvard crews the lack of "beat" or rhythm of stroke. In other words, the men do not pull together. The next article is on "Fay House of Radcliffe College" by Arthur Gilman. "A Group of Presidents," by Edward Everett Hale '39, accompanies the group portrait of Josiah Quincy, Edward Everett, Jared Sparks, James Walker and C. C. Felton, five former presidents of Harvard. The American School of Classical Studies in Rome is described at length by W. G. Hale '70. The number concludes with the regular departments-The University, Athletics, The Graduates, etc. The frontispiece is a photograph of Fay House. The other illustrations are Francis Channing Barlow, William Henry Furness and Five Harvard Presidents.
