The committee will ask for special arrangements so that freshmen and women students will not be hindered from attending.

A special committee, headed, by James. B Warrmer, reported to the Board. Its report wax accepted Ex cerpts from the three pages of the minutes which deal with the military training decision show the attitude of the governing body. "So far as we can determine," the report said, "the students seem not to be antagonistic to military training in itself. The majority of them do object to compulsory military drill.. . "They realize that if the emergency of war arises, they will be called upon to serve their country and they wish Ito be prepared to serve in the most I effectual manner. They know that other nations have not disarmed, and that until others show a disposition to do so, our nation must be prepared to defend itself against aggression.

He is a graduate of Colgate University and Harvard Law School and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary fraternity In 1930 he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States Although no definite announcement has been madb it is probable that the delegates will be entertained at either a smoker or a mass meeting Saturday night. A definite topic for the two day conference has not been selected but will deal in a general way with fraternity problems in various branches of military balance, including infantry drill, to cover, so far as is practical, all phases of national defense "2. That these branches, excepting, of course, infantry drill and tactics, be designed to supplement the gen eral academic courses the individual students are now taking "3. That the various branches be elective, but that a passing grade in one branch be required for gradua tion. "4. That regular College eredas, on the same busk as for other studles, be allowed for the work as stated m item one "5. That these recommendations be submitted to the officers and fac ulty of the 'College to be put into prac tical detailed farm, and that they be reported back to the Board for final action." "Probably at first these electives will have to be limited to a few broad, general, and more important branches in the interest of economy and effi ciency. Probably the fall of IBM is the earliest possible date that the move can be made effective. We feel, howe,er, that the plan is practical and that it is a constructive forward step for the College to take."
