Guardian's Third Conference to Be Opened by Conant

Prominent Figures in Press, Radio, Politics Will Take Part In Propaganda Study

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Conant will formally open the Guardian conference on propaganda Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock with a talk on "Propaganda and Education," Undergraduate Conference Chairman John M. London '40 announced last night. This follows the Guardian's regular tradition of having its conferences opened by the President.

London also revealed that a number of authorities on propaganda have accepted invitations to speak and take an active part in round table discussions. Today a program for the entire three days of the Conference will be drawn up, and tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Winthrop House Junior Common Room an important preliminary meeting of all students interested will be held.

Although more replies are expected by the Guardian today and tomorrow, a list of over ten outside speakers has already been definitely drawn up.

List of Speakers

Included among the prominent authorities are: I. A. Richards, head of Magdalen College at Oxford, a specialist in semantics; Shepard Jones, New England director of the World Peace Foundation; William Stoddard '07, public relations counsel for Filene's; Robert B. Choate '19, an editor of the Boston Herald; Professor Norton Long '32, of Mount Holyoke College, who has made a special study of the propaganda of corporations; M. D. Schulman, Columbia research psychologist and counsel for various governmental agencies; Edward Bernays, public relations counsel from New York; Lloyd Free, recently appointed editor of "The Political Science Quarterly"; and William Paley, Jr., president of the Columbia Broadcasting System.
