On the other hand, if the practice is open and the students may follow the work of their representatives, their interest grows as the final race gets nearer, and they...
...World Student Conference held every summer at Northfield, Massachusetts has always attracted a small number of Harvard men who are interested in the religious side of University life. But thus far Harvard, as the leading university of the country, has not been represented worthily.
