NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A special mid-winter meeting of the Alumni Association will be held in Boston and Cambridge on Saturday, December 7, to consider topics pertaining primarily to University problems and National Defense.

The Association is sending out notices to 45,000 alumni in the northeastern section of the country who may be interested in coming to Cambridge for a day. The University will be thrown open to all visiting alumni that Saturday.

The "oldsters" will be invited to attend college classes and compare methods with those of their day. Special exhibits in the laboratories and libraries will acquaint the alumni with the various day-to-day activities of the college and the efforts being made to aid in the national defense.

The house dining halls will be open to the alumni who wish to eat there and get a first hand picture of how the house system operates. The fathers who have sons in college will be allotted to those houses in which their sons live.

Another feature of the one-day meeting is a concert and organ recital in Memorial Church. A symposium on foreign affairs will be held in the afternoon, with Professors Samuel H. Cross '12, William Y. Elliott, and Bruce Hopper speaking.

The Alumni Committee in charge of arrangements consists of Dr. Reginald Fitz '06, University Marshall; Arthur T. Lyman '16, of Boston; Charles H. Watkins '09, of Winchester, Mass, and Dr. David M. Little '18, Secretary to the University.
