STUDENT CONFERENCE TO BE AT NORTHFIELD

Arrangements for the Student conference which is to be held at Northfield in June are nearing completion. The campus of the Northfield Seminary will be the scene of the various activities which will open with a luncheon on Wednesday, June 16, and close Thursday morning, June 24.

The list of speakers which is almost complete, contains among its most prominent names those of Professor Henry H. Tweedy, of Yale, Dr. Robert E. Speer, prominent missionary, and the Honorable J. Stitt Wilson, socialistic lecturer.

In addition to speeches and conferences, there will be a series of athletic contests between the representatives of different colleges.

Work has already started here toward the selection of a committee which will handle the University delegation. The Harvard quota this year is 75, and it is expected that with the site of the conference so near Cambridge the full number of emissaries will be found at an early date. The regular registration fee of seven dollars will not be required from foreign students. In order to secure a large foreign representation financial aid will also be extended to certain of these students who could not otherwise attend the conference. All men who are interested in spending all or part of the conference week in Northfield should put in their applications at the Phillips Brooks House as soon as possible.

The purpose of the conference is to afford college students an opportunity for unhurried discussion and consideration of the way college is affecting them, and the problems they are confronted with. It also brings the students from different colleges into intimate contact with each other, and gives them a chance to talk with eminent thinkers from all over the country.

The list of speakers who have been secured so far follows: Honorable J. Stitt Wilson, Professor Henry H. Tweedy, Dr. Robert E. Speer, Francis P. Miller, Powers Hapgood, Henry P. Van Duson, Dr. George R. Baker, S. Wirt Wiley, John W. Macdonald, Clifford Brown, Professor S. Ralph Harlow, Sidney Levett, Morgan Noyes, Kingsley Birge, John R. Brush, Allan K. Chalmers, and William D. Barnes.
