The second group meetings will come tomorrow morning, and tomorrow afternoon the delegates will meet in general convention to hear the reports of various groups.

The Conference will close with a banquet at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening. Mr. Leonard Metcalfe, President of the M. I. T. Alumni Association, will act as toastmaster, and several distinguished men are to speak. Among these are Dr. Edward Cummings of the World's Peace Foundation, Mr. Cheney S. Jones of the American Red Cross, Dr. John Phillips, acting Dean of Babson Institute and General Secretary of the New England District of Rotary Clubs, and Professor Robert E. Rogers of M. I. T.

The questions before the Conference deal with problems of student life and organization, and may be divided into the four classes of Student Government, Athletics, Publications, and Musical and Dramatic Clubs. Almost every college attending has sent one delegate representing each of these organizations.
