In a drive to organize New England students for the world government movement, undergraduates from Harvard and five other colleges in the Boston area met last night at the International Student Center in Radcliffe to reinstitute last year's Interstudent Council for World Federation.

Representatives from Harvard, Tufts, Weliesley, M.I.T., Radcliffe, Wheaton, Winsor School, and Newton High School voted early in the meeting to affiliate with the national organization of Student Federalists and to bring prominent speakers to the New England colleges. Plans were made also for organizing local chapters.

Howard Buchler '49 has talked with members of the administration, who have put forth the idea of forming one large international affairs organization of which the Student Federalist group could be an independent subcommittee.
