Senior Advisers Canvassed

As a result of a post card canvass of this year's Senior advisers, in which 57 replies were received from a total of 115 advisers, the Illustrated has found that 93 per cent. favored the system, 3.5 per cent. were indifferent, and 3.5 per cent. were opposed to it. These 57 men together had 327 advisees. Assuming that three-fourths of these Freshmen paid one call to their adviser, when summoned at the beginning of the year by him, the figures show that 200 other calls were made by 327 men. On the other hand, the Seniors paid on the average one visit to a man. Nineteen Seniors said that they had smokers for their advisees Some Seniors met the Freshmen occasionally at meals, chapel and clubs. Supposing that at these calls and smokers the Seniors honestly aided the Freshmen all they could to get the right perspective of Harvard, the statistics give great justification to the Senior adviser system.
