At a recent luncheon held in Boston for the class agents of the Harvard Fund, President Lowell declared, in thanking the Class Agents for the work they have done, that Harvard is a careful spender and spends always with a margin left over for two purposes: First to under take new work as it arises, and secondly, for times of adversity.
