Announcement is made in the calendar for next week of a very interesting college conference meeting. At the request of the students in charge of the college conferences the members of the Athletic Committee will undertake to explain to those who are interested in the subject - which means the whole University - the constitution, powers and objects of the Committee. In the college at large there has long existed a desire for some definite knowledge about the workings of the Athletic Committee. During the past two years there has been a steadily growing feeling that the Committee is doing a great deal for Harvard athletics, in fact that it is the safest body to which to entrust the athletic welfare of the college. The students, therefore, want to be solidly behind the Committee and in a position to support it intelligently. Doubtless there are many men in college who have found themselves called upon to defend the action of the Athletic Committee on some matter but who have been forced to keep silent because they had no accurate knowledge of the arguments which had influenced the committee to the action in question.

It was just such considerations as these that the college conference committee presented to the members of the Athletic Committee when asking them to give a conference. As soon as this committee was convinced that there is any real interest in the college on the subject the members were very ready to give a conference and try to place the actions and purposes of the committee in a clear light before the students. Such a spirit on the part of the Athletic Committee will certainly be met half way by the students. Sever 11 will hardly be large enough to hold the men who will want to attend this conference.
