UNIVERSITY TEAS

In the University teas is perpetuated the hospitality which in early days the officers of the University were accustomed to extend in their homes. That these receptions must now be held in Phillips Brooks House is a necessity of the growth of Harvard, and does not change the character of the welcome which is extended. It is a problem in this place to establish between students and instructors any relation less precise than that of the lecture room; but University teas, if accepted by the undergraduates in the same cordial spirit in which they are maintained by the University, will do much toward breaking down the formality of this relation.
