President Lowell. AZ the alumni
meeting this afternoon. gave hint that
such a committee had been appointed
and was already at work when he said:
"Therc is matter which has been
much discussed during tho last few
weeks and has attracted no little at
fcntion in the press. about which !

drawn from the various faculties is
now considering the matter, and J.
would be improper for me 10 forcstaN
their opinion. want. however. %
point out certain general principles on
which the university must act ana from
which IT could not depart without
breach Of duty"
During the earlier period of our
country. and indeed TO some extent 50
long as there vas a broad area Of from
tier life ~ westward, newcomers from
ether lands were easily assimilatcd.
Tho .narscro.s Of settlements and the
constant mobility Of tho population
uaived mon In n homogeneous hmtr'-
can tvpe. Now that our popu-
laiion has become vastly more dense
and huge numbers Of strangers newly
,9me from oycrgcas arc maTsfd ~
industrial centcrs. the problem Of
assimilation has become moro d.i-
fcult This is cause o. the re-
cent efforts al Amcricanization. That
anv eroup Of men should hnd them
selves scraratod from the common
stream would be a crave misfortune FOR
our country and still rraycr ono fcr
that group.
