A BOSTON HARVARD CLUB.

Yesterday the Harvard Bulletin, which now represents so ably the true spirit of Harvard, gave more than a column to a proposal by Mr. F. A. Tupper '80 to organize a Harvard Club in Boston. Why such a club has never been formed before apparently no one is quite able to say. Last year the Class Secretaries' Association appointed a committee to look into the matter; but the committee either failed to report, or else never made clear its objections to the project.

In every city, south, west and even east of here, where Harvard men congregate,--and it is hard to find one where they do not,--a Harvard club has been organized to promote good fellowship and unity of Harvard interests. There is scarcely an issue of the Bulletin that does not relate the doings of some University organization with headquarters many miles from Cambridge. And yet here in Boston, where Harvard graduates are congregated, there is less unity among the alumni than in any city in the land.

Perhaps "absence makes the heart grow fonder"; perhaps the Boston alumni are too near us to appreciate what means so much to the Harvard men of New York and other cities. Mr. Tupper has not found it so. Better for Harvard that our graduate organization is most complete in the west and south, where it is needed most; better still if it were complete throughout. Once broached, we feel sure the matter will not pass without further consideration; once organized, it will not lack for support.
