About forty men from Harvard attended the annual Northfield Conference held at East Northfield, Mass., from June 26 to July 5. The conference, bringing together several hundred representatives of all the eastern colleges, was a success in every way, and its purpose to strengthen and improve the philanthropic and religious interests of the colleges --was well achieved. The social intercourse among men of the various colleges, the free out-door life, and the excellent spirit which prevailed, were features which contributed to the success and pleasure of the meeting.

The mornings and evenings were devoted to session of the conference, while the afternoons were given up to athletic sports and recreation. At 11 o'clock in the mornings and 8 o'clock in the evenings, platform addresses were made by such men as Rev. J. R. Campbell of London, England, Rev. W. F. McDowell of Edinburgh, Scotland, John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, and Dr. Campbell Morgan. There were also open air services on Round Top at 7 o'clock in the evening, at which able speakers presented instances of various opportunities for Christian work in professions outside the ministry.

The athletic sports in the afternoon, including a baseball series, tennis tournament and track games, were enthusiastically entered into, the presence of a number of prominent college athletes adding especial interest. The baseball series, which was closely contested during the larger part of the conference, was won by Princeton; Harvard finished second. W. B. Bullen 2Dv., won second place in the tennis tournament. For the Fourth of July celebration, the auditorium was elaborately decorated by the different colleges.
