The second number of the Graduates' Magazine for the present college year appears today and, as usual, contains much of interest to undergraduate students as well as to the alumni. For example, the opening article by S. F. Smith '29, "Recollections by the Author of 'America'," gives an account of the Harvard life of sixty-five years ago, with its many amusing differences from that of today; and there can be no doubt that such an account is more interesting to men now in college than to those who were familiar with the scenes it describes.

"From a Graduate's Window" contains the suggestion that the pictures now on the walls of Memorial be removed to the new art museum when that building is completed.
