A MASS MEETING

The Student Council has decided to send delegates to the Disarmament Conference at Princeton. Considering that every other college of importance in the East will be represented there could of course have been no other decision.

But the mere naming of two men to go to Princeton is far from an indication of the College's interest in Disarmament. And there is no doubt that the College should as an institution add to the sentiment favoring limitation of armaments which is now sweeping the nation. It is not enough that we, as individuals, study the problems of and express our opinions on the Conference.

What can we do? The Union stands as the answer to that question. If a mass meeting could be held there Monday or Tuesday of next week, with one prominent speaker, two things would be accomplished. The delegates would be given an opportunity to gauge the sentiment of the College; and the interest of Harvard in the Conference would be given publicity. By making such an arrangement, the Union would be further proving its usefulness.

It may be objected that a sufficient number of men could not be persuaded to attend. To this we answer that if such a meeting could not attract as large an audience as treat which attends a football raily there is something radically wrong with Harvard--viewed as an institution of learning at least.
