COLLEGE CONFERENCE TAKES UP VARIOUS ACTIVITY PROBLEMS

As a result of a meeting of representatives of Dartmouth, Cornell, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and M. I. T. at the University Club of New York on December 22 last, a conference to bring together representatives of various universities and colleges at a meeting to discuss the problems of undergraduate government and student activities has been arranged for April 5 and 6 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. The men present at the meeting in December decided to act as an executive committee to take charge of the conference. This executive committee, of which R. W. Elsasser '21 is a member, has asked 41 of the leading colleges to send four delegates each to the conference. In compiling this list of colleges the committee sought to assemble those having most problems in common. However any college not on this list has the privilege of sending representatives, if they have any problems to discuss.

So that there will be some uniformity to the. discussions it has been decided to have four general topics of discussion: student governing, athletic organization, publications, and college theatricals and musical clubs. In each case a chairman has been appointed to conduct the meetings, all of which will be held simultaneously. Elsasser will have charge of the last group, the theatricals and musical clubs. The entire conference will be held under the direction of the General Chairman, W. R. Barker, of M. I. T.

About 250 delegates are expected to attend and the entire number will be guests at the fraternity houses at Tech. Dartmouth has not yet chosen its representatives, but will undoubtedly send four men as invited.
