The work may be summarized as follows:
Deputations: Sixteen week-end deputations of from three to five men have been sent out to neighboring towns. In this work 47 men have participated. Single speakers have also been sent out. A. D. Phillips '26 deserves high praise for his work as Chairman of this Committee.
Bible Study: Five Bible Study or Religious Discussion Groups have met during the past year, with an enrolment of 50 in all.
Attendance Hits 400
Speakers: Ten Monday night meetings for Freshmen have been held, attendance averaging 138. Last year the average attendance was 70. The speakers were Dean Sperry, Messrs. Moors, Owen, and Cabot, the Reverends Sherrill, Lovett, Frothingham, and Fosdick, and Professors Hocking and Dun.
In addition, the following speakers have addressed meetings at the Phillips Brooks House: Dr Fosdick, Dr. J. R. Straton, Dr. C. F. Potter, Mr. T. Mott Osborne, and Dr. Soares, the attendance varying from 40 to 400.
Finds Personal Visits Worthless
New Student Committee: A letter of welcome and a questionnaire card we sent to all incoming Freshmen in August. After college opened, each member of the committee was given ten men to visit. The questionnaire proved to be of great value but the personal visitation work was not worth while.
Foreign Student Committee: The Foreign Student Committee carried on its work with few changes front previous years. There was the usual list of Foreign Students to be drawn up the annual reception under the joint auspices of the Cosmopolitan Club and the Christian Association, the annual Open House at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the annual reception of the Cambridge Y. M. C. A. to Foreign Students of M. I. T. and Harvard.
Silver Bay Draws 25
Conferences: Twenty-five men attended the Silver Bay Conference last June, and six men attended a Conference in Northfield in February. A committee is now being formed for the Silver Bay Conference this year.
I have appended to this report a list of suggestions for the consideration of the new cabinet which I hope will result in an improvement in the work. Respectfully submitted. M. A. Cheek '26, President.
