TAKING STOCK

The annual appearance of the President's Report fulfills, in practice, two important functions. It gives Harvard men a chance to trace the progress of the University during the year just past, and it raises questions, often controversial in nature, as to the further development of University policies. This year's report will satisfy those who like to look back upon work well accomplished and will provoke to further activity that large group of men who are always thinking and striving towards the high goal which Harvard has set herself in the field of American education. Several proposals in the report are not new but many of them afford much opportunity for further comment and study. Since the suggestions have in several cases only a general interconnection it may be convenient to consider them separately in a series of short editorials two of which are published today.
