Mr. Curtiss, who has successfully devoted his entire time to the banking business since leaving college, will give conferences from 3 to 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr. White is giving appointments from 10 to 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, and from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

While these conferences are intended primarily for those Seniors who wish advice about choosing a vocation, any student in the University is at liberty to request an appointment. Blue books are posted in 3 University Hall for this purpose.
