WILL MEET AT WASHINGTON

The annual meeting of the Associated Harvard Clubs will be held, not at Buffalo, N. Y., as originally intended, but at Washington, D. C., on June 1 and 2.

The executive committee has given serious consideration to the question of the program for the approaching meeting. It was clear that at this time first consideration must be given to the needs of the nation, and that it was necessary to hear from those who were directly engaged in the service of the Government.

To ask these men to leave Washington at a given date, to give up their valuable time to travelling--even were there no special crisis impending at the end of May--was impossible.

Since the program seemed the vital thing, and since the program could not be brought to the meeting at Buffalo, the committee sought to bring the meeting to the program.

This plan has been entirely successful, and the Harvard Club of Washington, D. C., has extended to the Associated Harvard Clubs an invitation to hold the meeting in that city on June 1 and 2, the dates originally selected.

Plans have already been made for an informal evening on the first day, with stories from the European front; and on the second day there will be addresses by President Lowell, David F. Houston, A.M. '92, Secretary of Agriculture; Franklin D. Roosevelt '04, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; William Phillips '00, Assistant Secretary of State; Charles S. Hamlin '83, Federal Reserve Board; Eliot Wadsworth '98, American Red Cross; Professor F. W. Taussig '79, chairman of Tariff Commission; A. W. Shaw, Commercial Economy Board (lecturer on Business Policy in the Business School), and other distinguished speakers.
