Six anonymous graduates are arranging to send to each member of the Freshman Class a copy of a book containing four essays on college life. The first of these is "Soldiers' Field," the address made by Major Henry Lee Higginson '55 at the dedication of the University's present athletic field; then follows a selection from the essay "Habit," by the late Professor William James '69 in which the necessity of habits without exceptions is emphasized. The other two selections are Dean Briggs' "Mistakes of College Life" and the Phi Beta Kappa poem of 1903, "Mater Fortissima." These little books will probably be distributed some time next week as the gifts of "Six Harvard Graduates in New York."
