Summer Conferences.

The outlook for a large attendance at the summer conferences of the College Young Men's Christian Association is encouraging, and preparations are being made on a larger scale than for any previous year. The University of Upsala, Sweden, has appointed a delegate to Northfield, and A. A. Stagg, of Yale, will take charge of the athletics at Northfield and at Lake Geneva, and also in connection with the student gathering at Chautauqua. It is confidently expected that the railroads will grant the reduced rate, on the certificate plan, of one-third fare in returning all who pay full fare in coming as regular delegates to the summer conferences. The arrangements are in charge of C. H. Lee, Y. M. C. A., 40 E. 23d St., New York city.
