Geographers Gather For Annual Meeting

Several hundred geographers will converge on the University this weekend as the 24th Annual Meeting of the New England Geographical Conference gets under way at the Institute of Geographical Exploration.

Edward L. Ullman, assistant professor of Regional Planning, who is president of the conference, will serve Saturday as chairman of one panel discussing "New England's Prospects, 1949."

Durwent S. Whittlesey, professor of Geography, lone permanent survivor of Harvard Geography, will head a morning session on "Ireland as a Western European Port."

A third topic to be discussed is the geographical side of the Marshall Plan.
