Despite adverse conditions the program of the conference is unusually attractive this year. John R. Mott, who spoke at the University last fall in connection with the Y. M. C. A. campaign, will preside, and address the convention concerning his recent work behind the battle lines in Europe. A number of other prominent speakers have been engaged, and several study groups planned. Not the least interesting part of the conference will be the athletic contests with sports in the afternoons, in which teams from the various colleges will compete...
...made intercollegiate games merely an incident in the curriculum of a college year in the stead of an important event for which the entire undergraduate body used to plan many weeks in advance. The last time the college went to Princeton in any numbers was in the fall of 1915 to watch Mahan's team give the Palmer Stadium its baptism of Harvard football.

The present subscription should be trebled by Saturday night to obtain a total worthy of Harvard...

Although the majority of the industries greatly prefer to employ men who will not be returning to college next fall, almost all of them have vacant positions and are entirely willing to give men the jobs temporarily. It is to be noted, however, that but few of the places open to college men for the summer are of a clerical nature, the vast majority entailing labor of a heavier sort...
