ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE

There are few more distinguished bodies of men than the Harvard Corporation. It is not a group of educators nor a financial board of directors. In it are gathered together Harvard graduates from all the professions, men who have demonstrated by their success in personal life their capability to direct Harvard's destinies.

The Corporation is not infallible. Although its transactions are learned only indirectly, there have been occasions when it has erred, times when its members could not reach unanimous decisions. Disagreement, or rather, independence of thought is an Harvard attribute. In the words of President Lowell, the business of the Corporation is "to run Harvard as it sees fit." This it has done, transcending internal dissension, brooking external opposition.

Bishop William Lawrence and John Farwell Moors, in their tenure of office in the Corporation, contributed to the ideal of that body: the forsaking of individualism for a common collectivism--the ideal that has preserved the Harvard tradition. The CRIMSON shares the general regret that two such venerable men have found it necessary to retire from participation in the activities of the Corporation. It welcomes the entry of two proven men of the following generation, Roger Irving Lee and Grenville Clark.
