Conant to Give More Time to Harvard Post

Because the pressure of his war duties has been lessened, President James Bryant Conant will be able to spend more time at the University this winter than he has during the past several months, he revealed yesterday. From now on he plans to divide his time between the two jobs, whereas this past summer his work on the rubber committee kept him from Cambridge except for a few visits.

He plans to attend the bi-weekly Corporation meetings, though his attentions will be directed more towards Washington than they were last winter, when he spent about three days out of every week at the Nation's capital.

In the next few days President Conant will publish a book, "Our Fighting Faith," made up of five recent speeches and an article in the Atlantic Monthly. All five were delivered here, the first over the Crimson Network on January 20, a month after Pearl Harbor.

Three Baccalaureate Sermons are also in the collection, those of 1940, '41, and '42. The fifth speech was made at the opening of the Summer Season on June 30. The book is printed by the Harvard University Press, and is to be released this month.

At present President Conant is in Cambridge for a few days. He was unable to speak at the mass meeting for the new Freshmen Friday night, and Paul H. Buck, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, addressed the Yardlings instead.

The article in the Atlantic Monthly, under the heading of "The Use of Our Colleges in Time of War," puts forth his call for federal subsidies for college students in order to "widen the base for officer material."
