...interested in social work, and by students, especially those who have been engaged in settlement work this year. The conference will take the form of an informal discussion of the settlement work of the past year, and aims to develop the points wherein the work can be made mere effective in the future. The discussion will be limited to one hour, after which opportunity will be given for the members of the University to meet the professional workers and talk over personally any points that have been brought out in the conference...

Suffice it to say that Brooks House is gradually being accepted among the undergraduates at large as more than a mere contribution box, and that the work carried on today includes more than supplying settlement workers, old clothes, and text books to charity. It includes a growing internal organization, with a gathering of the denominational groups, and also enrolls many men in Bible study classes where religious, moral, and other questions are discussed with a quiet freedom that has been of great...
