When comparisons are made between active participation by experts and students in gatherings like this, and a mere attendance in the galleries during a lecture on the same subject, the balance is far in favor of the Conference plan. No qualms should be felt about playing give-and-take with men who may be members of the Cabinet, university professors, or financiers fresh from the mines of Wall Street.
