PLAN TO CONFER ON DISARMAMENT

Definite steps have now been taken by the Princeton Senior Council to call an intercollegiate conference on the subject of disarmament to be held in Princeton on October 26th. The proposal is to invite two representatives each from over go colleges and universities throughout the East, and in this manner to stimulate discussion among the undergraduate bodies of these colleges and to deepen the interest in the whole question of the limitation of armaments.

Suggested by President Hibben

This action at Princeton comes as a sequel to President Hibben's matriculation sermon on October 1st, in which he stated. "I wish to urge upon your serious consideration, therefore, the possibility of organizing a movement here which, with the cooperation of the representatives of other universities throughout the country might give expression to the convictions upon this subject (disarmament) which I am sure you hold."

The duty of organizing the conference has been assumed by the Princeton Senior Council, under whose auspices it is to be held. The Council has appointed a committee of six undergraduates who are to take charge of the organization of this conference.

Invitations have gone out to all the important colleges and universities in the East, and a prospectus and the proposed program have been sent to all who are expected to participate in this conference. The chief features of the program consist of an afternoon and an evening meeting, to be addressed by prominent men who have been invited to come for this purpose; and a banquet in the University Dining Halls. At the afternoon meeting a resolution will be introduced expressing to the Government the sympathy of the colleges of the country with the purpose of the coming Washington Conference, and solicitation for its successful conclusion.
