W. Baird Bryant '50 will preside over a model United Nations session next March in which seventeen schools will take part, a seven-college conference which is planning the session decided Saturday.

Bryant, who is vice-chairman of the United Nations Council of Harvard, will preside over the miniature U.N. Security Council. In that post he will conduct the affairs of the entire meeting, which will be held the first weekend in March at Smith College.

About sixty delegates from the seventeen colleges, including Mount Holyoke, Smith, Princeton, Vassar, Wellesley, Yale, Amherst, and Harvard will attend as guests of Smith and Amherst. Shortage of housing facilities forced the limitation of the number of colleges invited.

Two representatives from the U.N. Council here, including Bryant, will participate in the session. The second delegate, as yet unselected, will serve on teh other committee to be set up, the model Trusteeship Council. Both groups will discuss the problems of trusteeship of strategic bases of the United States.

The United Nations Council Plans to send Bryant down to Lake Success before the two-day meeting, Stephen M. Schwebel '50, chairman of the group, declared. There he will study the functions of the regular U. N. Security Council at first-hand.
