When the 1911 Photograph Committee requested Dean Wells to comment on the result of their work they felt with proper justification, as was admitted by all Harvard men, that their album was more than the ordinary annual improvement over its predecessors, and that it would not be easily surpassed in excellence. Happily, however, Mr. Blackall, chairman of the 1912 committee, et al., have appreciated their commission and have not missed the opportunity to be ranked as the most efficient and successful editors in twenty-three years.

About 400 other pictures, which include a valuable set of the Faculty, all University and class teams for the past four years, and student organizations of every description, together with several articles which will preserve a record of the activities and associations with which the members of the class have allied themselves during their college course, fill the remaining pages and make the album of peculiar interest to all Harvard men.

The editors have presented to their classmates a work which truly represents to the world our grand old University
