Abstract
THE report of the president of Harvard to the Board of Overseers is always an important document. On this occasion1 it is perhaps more so than usual, because Dr. J. B. Conant reviews the part that ought to be played by universities in the demobilization period, and he gives an account of the Harvard proposals. British universities have been facing similar problems, and no doubt much can be gained by a consideration of what universities in the United States are proposing to do. There will always, of course, be some differences that originate from differences of outlook and position.
