The annual Northfield conference for students from the Eastern States and Canada will be held this year from June 26 until July 5 inclusive, at East Northfield, Massachusetts, where the conference has meet annually for the past twenty-two years. Among the speakers are Robert E. Speer, John R. Mott, and Professor Jenks of Cornell, all of whom were leaders at the Conference last year.

A pamphlet giving full information about the convention will be issued in a few weeks under the auspices of the Phillips Brooks House. The University delegation of last year was one of the largest ever sent to the Convention from Harvard, numbering over eighty men, and the second largest sent to the Conference in 1907.

The primary object of the conference is to present and discuss important questions of religion and social service of interest to college men, and to develop the religious life and interest in philanthropic work of the Eastern colleges and schools through an interchange of ideas and contact with leaders of thought in the field. Delegates are quartered in tents and dormitories and a baseball series, a tennis tournament, a track meet, a big fourth of July celebration, followed by an enormous bonfire, and inspiring religious meetings addressed by leaders of philanthropic and religious thought are some of the creatures of the conference. The Harvard delegation will be under the management of a representative committee, organized from the Philips Brooks House societies.
