BROOKS HOUSE TO SEND MEMBERS TO STUDENT MEETING

The third annual conference included in the program of the Phillips Brooks House Association will meet at Poland Springs, Maine, on Friday, February 27, Saturday, February 28, and Sunday, March 1. The convention, called the Poland Springs Conference, is to be composed of representatives from men and women students in Greater Boston, and from northeastern New England, and will discuss the general subject of "Political Corruption."

General Theme

This general theme was chosen after a thorough investigation of the undergraduate interests of the various colleges during the present academic year. The subject has been narrowed down to the consideration of "special privilege versus general welfare" in the relations between business and government. This in turn is to be studied in two relationships only, public utilities and municipal politics.

In Charge

The committee in charge has chosen a theme of this practical nature because it feels that one of the essential needs of the day is to understand more clearly how to apply Christian ethics to the solution of some of the more perplexing social problems, and how the processes of the state can be made to serve the needs of the many, rather than to become the instrument of the privileged few.

Davis to Speak

The program is scheduled to begin on Friday night with a discussion presenting opposing points of view on the subject of the Maine State power issue, and will continue on the two following days with a presentation of the municipal politics question, followed by an address by Professor Jerome Davis, of Yale University on the subject of the application of Christian Ethics to the problems of the day.

The number of those attending the conference is limited to 200, who are to be chosen from both the faculties and the student bodies of the organizations represented. The quota which will attend in behalf of the Phillips Brooks House Association is fixed at 20. The committee in charge includes E. L. Amazeen '31, as the Harvard representative.
