THE YOUNG VISITORS

Possibly the visiting members of the Radley School could have chosen no more unusual period of the college year in which to see Harvard than the present one. That strange thing called the Reading Period following on the Christmas holidays and foreboding the midyear examinations has made the even tenor of collegiate ways less even and slightly bewildered. The calm fall days have gone and the lethargy of late winter has yet to set in.

The schoolboys will, however, see an earnest Harvard and they will see it under the best possible guides; few visitors have such distinguished hosts as President Lowell, Professor Sachs and Mr. Lane. Certainly the leadership of these men will afford the young Englishmen an introduction not only into the physical. Harvard but to the type of its governors. The CRIMSON takes pleasure in adding its welcome to that officially extended by the University and hopes that the comparisons between the different American institutions visited will not leave Harvard entirely forgotten.
