MANY COLLEGES REPRESENTED AT RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE

The Twelfth Annual Conference of Eastern College Men on the Christian Ministry closed yesterday afternoon with a meeting in Andover Chapel, which was addressed by Professor W. E. Hocking '01 and Dr. A. P. Fitch '00. A special feature of the final session was a number of three-minute speeches on "Why I Have Gone into the Ministry" by G. B. Wellman '10, F. B. Withington '15, John Moses, of Trinity, Paul Nilson, of Beloit, and C. D. Kepner, of Williams.

In all 131 men attended the conference, including delegates from Bates, Colby, University of Maine, Bowdoin, University of Vermont, Middlebury, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, Clark, Boston University, Brown, Yale, and eleven theological seminaries. Twelve different denominations were represented.

Although the purpose of the conference was to present to those college men who are now deciding upon their life work, definite and reliable information concerning the opportunities and work of the Christian ministry, it is interesting to note that at a poll taken on Saturday night over half the delegates had already decided to become ministers.
