American Council Convenes

International interest this year surrounds the annual convention of the American Alumni Council, composed of alumni secretaries, alumni magazine editors and executives of alumni funds of six hundred American universities. For the first time since its organization in 1913, the convention will be held outside of the United States, part of the sessions to take place in Toronto, Ont., on June 24 and 25, after which the several hundred college people will go to Muskoka Lakes, Ont., for the balance of the week. Several Canadian universities will be represented in addition to the University of Toronto, which will be host. Also for the first time a Porto Rican alumni executive, Jose Gueits, alumni secretary of the University of Porto Rico at Rio Pieuras, will be present, and it is possible that the University of Edinborough, Scotland, will send a delegate.

Frederick P. Keppel, of New York, president of the Carnegie Corporation and former dean of Columbia College, is to be the principal speaker on Tuesday, June 25, at the main assembly in Great Hall, Hart House, University of Toronto. He will discuss the studies now under way concerning "adult education" and the part that organized alumni associations and federations in leading universities can play in the movement. On behalf of Canada, and the University of Toronto, the Honorable and Rev. H. J. Cody, chairman of the Board of Governors, will welcome the delegates. A special train will take the college group to Muskoka Lakes on the night of June 25, where a large hotel is to be occupied exclusively by them.
