17 Local Colleges At PBH's Social Service Gathering

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eighty delegates from 17 New England colleges will meet at Phillips Brooks House today for a conference designed to explore college volunteer social work with an aim of tripling the number of volunteers in the local social service field.

The conference, the first of its kind, was called by PBH last month as a means of finding out what other colleges are doing in social service and to help schools without social service agencies to set up formal organizations similar to Brooks House's social service committee.

Duhig, Sperry Speak

PBH Graduate Secretary Charles W. Duhig '29 will welcome the delegates and Dean Sperry of the Divinity School will deliver the closing address. After-dinner speakers are John Kingman '14, president of the United Settlements of Greater Boston, and Robert Lane, director of the Greater Boston Community Survey.

Schools sending delegates to the parley include Yale, Radcliffe, Wellesley, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts, Northeastern, and Simmons.
