Although it has never been denied that alumni clubs are important factors in keeping graduates in touch with the college, it is probably also true that no one has ever known just how much of a factor they were. It is not certain, indeed, that anyone knows even now, but some statistics gathered by Harvard would seem to throw significant light on the problem.
