INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE TAKES STAND AGAINST LIQUOR
June, 1923

The second biennial intercollegiate conference on student activities, held at the University of Pennsylvania, closed Saturday noon after a discussion of various undergraduate problems. The conference was divided into four groups for informal discussion, covering respectively, student government, athletics, publications and organizations such as musical clubs, dramatics and debating.

One of the most serious problems in the social life of the undergraduates as discussed by the representatives at the conference, was the use of liquor. It was brought out in discussion that every student governing body represented had taken steps against it. The following resolution was adopted: "It is hereby resolved that the second biennial intercollegiate conference go on record as against any drinking by undergraduates in American colleges and universities."

Couch '23 for student government; L. F. Neidlinger '23, for athletics ; J. W. Bertch '23 for publications; and S. M. Clough '23, for organizations. The next conference will be at Ithaca in 1925.
