Discuss Social Service

The problem of raising the standard of the social service work of the University was the subject of an informal conference held last night in the Living Room of Phillips Brooks House between undergraduate workers and various heads of Boston settlement houses.

After prolonged round table discussion, the general question was reduced to three specific problems: first, the adequate presentation of the significance of social work; second, the difficulty of sustaining individual interest throughout the four years of college; and third, ways and means for increasing the cooperation between the social service committee and the settlement houses.
