Annual Northfield Conference June 23

The annual Northfield Student Conference of Young Men's Christian Association for colleges of the cast will be held this year from June 23 to July 2, inclusive, at East Northfield, Mass., on the grounds of the Northfield Seminary.

The primary purpose of the conference is to provide a natural opportunity for men from the different colleges to meet for unhurried consideration, in especially agreeable surroundings, of the vital significance of Christianity for the colleges and for the college man in his various callings. The daily program includes two meetings of all the delegations, group classes for Bible study, mission study, or study of social problems, and larger group conferences on life work. The afternoons are given over entirely to recreation; an intercollegiate baseball series, a tennis tournament and a track meet are among the diversions arranged.

Rev. A. P. Fitch '00 will deliver the opening address this year. Rev. H. S. Coffin, of the Board of Preachers, J. R. Mott, and R. E. Speer will be among the other speakers. Rev. P. M. Rhinelander '91 and Professor H. B. Wright, of Yale, will lead the Bible study groups, while Roswell Bates, of New York, will represent the social service work.

Last year the Harvard delegation consisted of thirty undergraduates, but other departments of the University were also represented. The delegation is always thoroughly cosmopolitan and men in any other branch of college activity will be heartily welcome at the conference. Further information concerning the conference may be secured at Phillips Brooks House.
