At the Student Mission Conference, held on Sunday morning at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., in Boston, a plan was presented for a student federation of the world. This scheme originated a few years ago when a Cornell man, John R. Mott, while at Keswick, England, met representatives of fifty-one colleges, with forty thousand students. Later he went to Germany, Scandinavia and Switzerland. In each of these places he was met by large delegations of students, from almost all the universities of Europe.

The object of the proposed federation is to unite college men of the world in active Christian work.
