LIBERAL CLUBS TO GATHER

The Harvard Liberal Club will serve as host at a conference on April 2 and 3 of student liberal clubs of colleges from all parts of the country, if plans of the organizing committee on a student conference work out. The committee, consisting of representatives of six men's colleges and Barnard and Radcliffe, have sent letters of invitation and explanation to the colleges through 250 undergraduates or organizations to participate in the organizing convention.

A few weeks ago students representing a number of eastern colleges met with a group of prominent Americans in New York to discuss the ways and means of bringing an association into being of these American college students who are interested in social, political, and international questions, and who have felt the need for a central student association which should promote among undergraduates a wider interest in the problems of national and world citizenship. They have felt the need for a central association which should furnish speakers to the college groups, organize student conventions, and in all possible ways build a community of the mind, whose citizenship should be the socially-conscious college students of America.

At the meeting a committee of eight was elected to serve as an organizing committee, of which Robert Wormser '22 is secretary. In choosing a foundation on which to build it was decided that the new organization be non-propagandist, that it be tied to no "isms," that its purpose be to induce the college citizen to think on the problems which confront America, without, however, presuming to tell him what to think, and that it should originate from the students themselves and be conducted by students insofar as that is practicable.
