Good student guides and plenty of them are needed. The college has not lacked them in the past and should not now, especially when the rate of pay has been raised. A man who acts as guide assumes a responsibility. He should be able to interpret Harvard life to a stranger--not only by telling about the ages and uses of the buildings, but by giving him first-hand the part of the college life which can't be put into books.

A capable guide gets experience and a little money; he gives a real service to Harvard.
