DR. WILLIAMS' SPEECH.

The CRIMSON feels proud this morning in having entertained as one of its guests at dinner last evening Dr. Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia. Those who were privileged to hear him speak on his idea of what journalism at its best means to the individual and to the country at large heard a speech the like of which has not been delivered at Harvard for many a month. President Lowell's tribute to Dr. Williams' ideals, which are to be carried out at the new Pulitzer School at Columbia, was worth going a long way to hear. We feel particularly proud of Dr. Williams' grateful acknowledgement of the toast drunk to the success of his new school: "Your tribute has moved me more deeply than any I have yet received." The CRIMSON wishes him every success in a venture where the idealism which he possesses will be of the utmost value.
