During the spring term several speakers of prominence addressed the college community or courses in the various departments. On April 22 Secretary of War Baker spoke to the courses in Political Science and also to the undergraduate body in Webster Hall, and the same week Dr. W. T. Grenfell spoke in the College Church.

Lectures open to the public, but more especially for the course in Labor, were delivered by Miss Mary Van Kleeck, Chief of the Industrial Plans Division of the Russell Sage Foundation, and by Mr. Stanley King, formerly connected with the War Department and at present vice president of the W. H. McElwain Company.
