COMMENT

The University of Michigan has established a system of meetings compulsory for Freshmen at which various members of the faculty speak informally for a half-hour on subjects of interest to students newly come to the university. These talks are on college ideals and traditions; and these meetings tend to acquaint the students with well-known faculty members and with college modes of life. . . It is evident that the Freshmen . . . cannot hope to become familiar with the ways of college without some exterior assistance. They remain an amorphous but unamalgamated group in their present situation, and some definite means should be taken to submit them to the solvent of university life. CALIFORNIA ALUMNI FORTNIGHTLY.
