ENLISTMENT FOR NORTHFIELD

Ninety-six undergraduates have already enlisted to join the 1915 Harvard delegation to the Northfield Conference--a number which already exceeds the total number of graduates and undergraduates included in last year's delegation. In addition to this large number of undergraduates, about forty men from the Graduate Schools will be in the party. The new plan of having a separate Freshman committee working in the dormitories has proven very successful, for thirty Freshmen have already joined the delegation, in comparison to a total of eighteen last year.

The Conference will last ten days this summer, beginning on June 25, the day after Commencement, and continuing through July 4. The days will be divided into three parts: the mornings, in which the various social service, mission study classes, and addresses by such leaders as Dr. H. E. Fosdick and Dr. J. R. Mott will be given; the afternoons, devoted to tennis tournaments, boating, swimming, and baseball games, and the evenings given over to big outdoor meetings on Round Top, addresses in the auditorium, and delegation meetings. The aim of the Conference is to give the undergraduate an opportunity for the discussion of his life work, and practical religious subjects with men who are leaders in every sense of the word, and to broaden men mentally and spiritually by contact with members of other universities and by ten days of continuous out-door life.

Because of the large size of the Harvard delegation several advantages have been secured. The committee has obtained a reduction in railroad rates so that cost of the entire trip, including registration fee, need not exceed $20. The University delegation, moreover, has been assigned to Gould Hall, which is in the centre of the buildings, and has received a large, separate dining room.

The committee now hopes to raise the total number of the delegation up to the record breaking figure of 150, and plans to do this before the final examination period commences. Students interested should confer at once with any member of the following 1915 committee: L. A. Morgan '17 (chairman); W. T. Barker '17 (treasurer); F. T. Smith '15, N. L. Tibbetts '15, N. L.
