Review of Register by Professor F. W. Taussig.

The Harvard University Register, like other things connected with the University, expands and improves. The issue for the current year (1911-12) is a volume of nearly 500 pages, packed with convenient information. Here one can learn about the persons who are concerned with each and every one of our manifold activities, from the Board of Overseers and the Alumni Associations to the Freshman Debating Society, from the Dramatic Club to the Co-operative Society, from the Pierian Sodality to the Hockey Team, from the Circolo Italiano to the Chinese Students' Club. Here are the records of honors and academic distinctions, the lists of club members, the athletic records. A glance at the index (a very full and careful one) shows a broadening variety of clubs, societies, fraternities, associations, conferences. This University of ours is a cosmopolitan microcosm, in which every sort of interest has its representation and every kind of person will find congenial associates. The Register is a pathfinder to all.

This year for the first time the Student Council publishes the Register, having purchased the rights for publication last June. It is better that the hand-book should be in charge of a quasi-official body, if only by way of guaranteeing a straight-forward and consistent editorial policy. There are sundry new and useful items in this year's edition, among which I notice especially the geographical list of students. The convenience of this source of information appealed to me at once; for the very first thing to which I happened to turn was the list of students from a city with which I have connections. President Lowell contributes a brief introduction for the Register in which he points out the possibilities of the Council, and once again invites the co-operation of students in the great task of our beloved University--the formation of mental and moral character.
