1928 SWARMS INTO UNION FOR OFFICIAL WELCOME

Approximately the entire Freshman class crowded into the Union last night to attend the official University reception held there, at which President Lowell, Professor E. A. Gay, Hon. '18, Professor E. C. Moore, Mr. Robert Hopkins '22, Dean E. A. Whitney '17, and Dean Le Baron R. Briggs '75 spoke.

Dean Briggs, who presided, delivered a few words of advice before introducing the first speaker, Professor Gay.

Professor Gay, who was formerly Dean of the School of Business Administration, spoke on three main points: morals, health, and studies. He stressed the importance of Latin, declaring that he had found it a most useful tool, in spite of the often repeated statement that it is a dead language.

Professor Moore, Chairman of the Board of Preachers and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, discussed religion in college. "Religion does not consist merely in going to chapel", he said, "but has infinitely greater scope than that. Try and grasp its substance while you are in college."

Mr. Hopkins '23, who is the Head Proctor of the Freshman Dormitories this year, spoke on the relations of the proctors to the men in their charge.

Dean Whitney '17, Assistant Dean of the class of 1928, compared college to "stocktaking in a department store." "It gives you leisure to think, and to think broadly," he said.

President Lowell was the final speaker and said only a few words of welcome.
