The reception tendered to new students by the Phillips Brooks House Association tonight deserves a very large attendance. Although it cannot take the place of the annual University reception in the Union, its more informal nature makes it especially helpful to men who are coming to Harvard for the first time. The speakers are representative men--few of them far removed from personal experience with undergraduate life--and well adapted to their audience. The majority will probably not require to be urged to be present; but it may do no harm to suggest to those few who consider receptions fit only for the unsophisticated, that such an opinion is a sign of ignorance, rather than of superior intelligence.
