There seems to be a pretty general conviction among Harvard students that the Forum is an excellent institution, deserving of united support. But despite this generally favorable attitude, there is a marked disinclination on the part of undergraduates to participate actively in the Forum discussions. Though the meetings so far held have been enthusiastic--they could scarcely have been otherwise, considering the importance of the subjects under discussion--they have not been as well attended as they should have been. It must be borne in mind that the value of the Forum is exactly proportionate to the amount of support accorded it by the student body. It cannot hope to discover and crystallize undergraduate opinion unless its discussions are participated in by men from every branch of College activities. No student should be content to sit idly by while questions of the utmost importance to himself and the University are being disposed of by a small group of men passing current for an entirely representative body. The all-important question of the gymnasium and its relation to physical education are the subjects of discussion for this evening, and it is unquestionably to the interest of every Harvard man to sea that this meeting is well attended. The contributions from undergraduates toward the new gymnasium have been given both to help the movement along and to show the graduates the interest of the College in this pressing question. The Forum this evening affords the chance to show more general and enthusiastic support on the part of the undergraduates.
