RECOGNITION OF THE FOREIGNER.

A great problem in University life for some time past has been the lack of common interests between the foreign student and the majority of the undergraduates. In the Student Council's decision to admit one or more representatives of the Cosmopolitan Club to its membership, much progress has been made in the solution of this difficulty.

Henceforth the Japanese students and the scholar from Sweden or china will feel himself to be and will be an important cog in the University machinery. Athletics, class matters, business of undergraduate importance will mean more to him. He will find a new and untouched phase of college life.

That all is not learned in books is bromidic, but to the student from beyond America it can well be said. His education by this wise move of the Council will be broadened, and a valuable outlook on Harvard will be his good fortune. On his return to the homeland, he will find that from the associations gained in various a activities he will possess a truer picture of American life than was gained in the confines of the class room.
