The Alumni Association has recently occupied its new quarters in Wadsworth House, which until recently has housed the departments of Hygiene and Physical Education. The newly--established Alumni Placement Bureau, which acts in conjunction with the Association, and occupies offices in Wadsworth House, is scheduled to issue its annual report at the end of the current week.

The old colonial landmark which once housed George Washington has now become the headquarters for the 61,000 living Harvard graduates.
