The activities of the Graduate Schools Society during the past year have consisted of seven open meetings of general interest, of four meetings of Professor Lake's religious discussion group, of four social meetings, and of certain miscellaneous activities.
The annual, reception to new students, at which Dean Haskins and Professor Francis Peabody spoke, was held at the beginning of the year. During the year, the following speakers have addressed the Society:
Dr. Samuel M. Crothers, on the "Life and Tradition of Phillips Brooks".
Professor Francis B. Sayre, on "Limitation of Armaments".
Professor William McDougali, on "Population and Progress".
Whiting Williams, on "Experiences in the mines of France and the Saar Valley."
Professor Albert P. Fitch, on "The Scholar in Religion".
Professor T. R. Glover, of St. John's College, Cambridge, on "The Transformation of India".
