REVEREND GLENN TELLS OF PROFESSIONAL CLUBS

WOULD BE OF GREAT SERVICE TO STUDENTS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Reverend Mr. Leslie Glenn, Rector of Christ's Church, who recently organized a small group of students interested in the ministry, expressed the view, last night, "that clubs of a similar nature at Harvard University for the purpose of giving students a clear and concise explanation of the professions would fill a great need."

Reverend Glenn said that few students have sufficient understanding of the professions and have no way of acquiring an adequate knowledge of them. "Informal meetings at which professional men could talk about the opportunities and limitations of his profession, would be of great service to many students; for the deciding of a career is probably the most important event in a college man's life.

"In my contact with Harvard students, I have often been asked by students to organize informal meetings at which they might be given extended talks on the professions. This shows that students are actually interested in this fundamental problem.

"This plan was successfully introduced at Amherst by Reverend Mr. Arthur Kinsolving, and now has a powerful and prominent position there. At Princeton a like organization received a favorable reception."

Monday evening at 6.30 o'clock, 34 men met at the Faculty Club. Dr. Raymond Calkins, Minister of the First Congregational Church, spoke on the problem of the ministry as a profession. Thomas L. Harris, consultant on religion for the University, and Reverend Daniel Bliss attended the meeting.
