SILVER BAY AGAIN TO BE SEAT OF CONFERENCE

The thirty-seventh annual conference of Eastern College men will be held at Silver Bay this year for the third consecutive time. Two important changes will be made this summer. In the first place the date has been shifted a week ahead so that it will not interfere with the summer plans of the delegates, the conference beginning June 15 and continuing until June 23. The second change will be that the preparatory school conference will meet at Blairstown. N. J. instead of in conjunction with the college conference as it did last year.

The object of the conference is to discuss social, religious and economic problems of the day, a series of lectures being given by men who are leaders in these fields. Although the entire program for the conference has not as yet been announced, it is certain that the Reverand Harry Emerson Fosdick, D.D., Professor of Practical Theology at Union Theological Seminary. N. Y., will be among the lecturers.

The daily program will consist, as in former years, of discussion groups and platform meetings in the morning and evening with athletic recreation in the afternoon. The athletic program will include a baseball series, a tennis tournament, and a track meet in which teams representing the various colleges will compete. For those who do not care for organized athletics there will be plenty of opportunity for swimming and mountain climbing.

Silver Bay, situated on Lake George in the northern part of New York State, is well fitted for a conference of this sort. It is in the heart of the mountain and lake district of the Adirondacks, amidst scenery that is among the finest in the Eastern United States. It includes 1600 acres of land, with over 70 buildings especially constructed for conference purposes, including an auditorium accommodating 1000 people and a dining hall that will seat 450. In addition there are ten smaller buildings with a capacity of from 50 to 200 persons apiece, that will be used for the group meetings.

The 25 tennis courts at Silver Bay may be used by vacationists and delegates alike, but six of these are reserved for members of the conference exclusively. In addition there are two baseball diamonds and a boathouse, adequately equipped with canoes and other small craft. There will be an opportunity to learn games which are adapted to use for boys clubs and general community service.

Although definite information regarding plans and expenses have not as yet been made public, members of the University wishing registration blanks may obtain them at the Phillips Brooks House.
