1924'S OPPORTUNITY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Members of the Freshman class have an unusual opportunity to learn the ropes of their University tonight and tomorrow. The Faculty Reception to Freshmen will be held at the Union this evening; tomorrow Phillips Brooks House will hold its informal reception to the new students. At these two meetings some of the most prominent men connected with the University will speak.

Tonight's affair at the Union will give the Freshmen the more mature points of view of the older graduates. President Lowell and Dean Yeomans, fresh from their European trips, are sure to have something of value and interest to say, Dean Briggs has dealt with Freshmen for a score of years or more. He can lay down a few laws well worth the notice of every member of 1924. It is fitting that Mr. Wigglesworth, as President of the Union, the one great club that belongs to the whole University, join in the welcome to the newcomers.

Tomorrow's gathering will be less formal, but every bit as interesting. Professor Munro will represent the Faculty. Mr. Pennypacker, of the Committee on Admission, will tell the Freshmen why he let them in. W. F. Bingham, the new track supervisor, will talk, as will Captain Horween of the eleven, and a number of other undergraduates. Men who are entering Harvard are indeed fortunate to gain so soon a first hand knowledge of their University.
