...annual Student Conference which has been held for the last few years at Silver Bay, N. Y., has been changed this year to Northfield, Mass...
There were two important reasons which led to the split, and consequent shift to Northfield of the conference this year. The first was the fact that Silver Bay is not conveniently located for New England students. The short distance from Cambridge to Northfield is in fact expected to increase considerably the size of this summer's Harvard delegation. The second reason is that Northfield was the original site of these conferences, and thus has a close connection with them.

Consequently the Foreign Relations Committee is prepared...

He now recognizes that he was marked for high destiny when President Grant helped him shinny a post to see a horse race; when a supercilious, teasable "Oyster Bay runt" called Teddy Roosevelt told him he was shortsighted and gave him one of his own thick eye-lenses; when he gouged "Bound to rise!" on a shingled steeple, counterfeited tickets to Barnum's circus, made cigar-box labels for Oscar Hammerstein and an aluminum fan for Mrs. Astor...
