To discuss with officials of other colleges the chronic ills of higher education, President Conant and Dean Murdock will leave Friday for a two-day conference at Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont. Laundries, student employment, parking, and student organizations are typical of the matters broached informally behind closed doors. The press is allowed no access to these meetings, at which ideas are exchanged in an unofficial manner.

The conference is an annual occasion, and was held last year at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where Harvard was represented by President Conant, Dean Hanford, and James Phinney Baxter III, associate professor of History, and Master of Adams House.
