Professor Hart, who was to have addressed the College Conference this evening, has given way to President Eliot, who will speak upon "Harvard and the West." The opportunity of hearing President Eliot speak is seldom given to the students; but when the chance comes the University takes full advantage of it. Tonight, moreover, the subject of President Eliot's talk will be unusually interesting. In the past two or three years a cry has been raised in some quarters that Harvard is weakly represented in the West, and columns of statistics have been compiled to prove or disprove, as the case may be, such a statement. The president, during his recent trip, made a special study of this question; and tonight he will speak upon it, in showing the relations between Harvard and the West-what Harvard has done for the West, and what the West has done for Harvard. No subject could be of greater interest for either speaker or audience.
