NEW ENGLAND FEDERATION OF HARVARD CLUBS MEETS

The annual midwinter dinner and meeting of the New England Federation of Harvard Clubs was held last night at the Harvard Club of Boston. Mr. Howard Corning '90, of Bangor, Me., the retiring president of the Federation, presided at the meeting and gave out the reports of the Committees on Scholarships, Book Prizes, and Secondary Schools.

Mr. Frederick L. Allen '12, Secretary of the Corporation, then addressed the meeting on "The Size and Complexity of the University". Mr. Allen said that very few of the graduates appreciate the largeness and intricacy of the University. He gave statistics and outlined the University's growth telling the delegates vividly how the cost of operating the University had grown from $46,000 in 1825 to $550,00 in 1885 and finally to $6,000,000 last year.

At the conclusion of Mr. Allen's talk the elections for the coming year took place with the following results: President, W. L. W. Field '98, Headmaster of Milton Academy; Vice-President, M. Percival Whittall '98, of Worcester; Secretary, James C. Trumbull '12, of Salem; Treasurer, Henry L. F. Kreger '16, of Boston.
