...that there is every sign that the conference committee for the coming year is about to become something more than a college myth, it may not be amiss to propose a few topics that may properly come before this faculty-student body. Of course the department of athletics will furnish more or less material for discussion, and student government at times of great rejoicing will also be a fruitful theme.

Wellesley has a very practical way of acquainting its students with the news of the day, and one which would not come amiss in many older places of learning. Besides a reading room open to all, where the prominent papers are kept on file every morning, an abstract of the news of preceding day is written on a large black-board and where the students will be compelled to notice...
