POCONO PINES
Big Conference to Be Held Jnne 14
to 22 - Eastern Colleges Lay Ex-
Penn State Needs
tenswe Plans—
Strong Delegation.
During the spring of each year
thousands of college men all over
the United States and Canada meet
at seven different points for the
purpose of promoting and uplifting
the moral, social, and, intellectual
life of their various universities. In
the west, Columbia Beach, Oregon
and Estes Park, Colorado are the
favorite points. In the middle west,
at Montreal, ad,cl South . . Carolina
large numbers of men gather, while
in the east, Ncithfielcl, Mass, and
Pocono Pines, Pa , have been chosen
the places, where this pea w, ik is
to be biobght hcfcre rrcn cf the

The life at the conference is
wholesome. The study periods are
serious, there is no discussion of
trivial" di - fairs; the addresses deal
with fundamental questions, for no
gathering of strong men will waste
their time on superficial thoughts
and discussions. Shortly after
breakfast the men meet in informal
groups to discuss the various prob
lems which confront the college
man of today, and the methods as
to how he can attain to the highest
and best ideals during his college
life. Just before noon all the dele
gates assemble to listen to inspiring
and helpful 'address from such
prominent mr n as Woodrow Wilson,
of New Jersey, and John R, Mott,
LL. D„ of New York. The after
noons are devoted wholly to health
ful recreations as baseball, track,
swimming, tennis, canoeing, fish
ing and hiking patties through the
mountains.
The athletic contests are looked
forward to with pleasurable antici
pation, for the friendly rivalry is
very keen and spirited at all
times, This rivalry is especially
true in all baseball games and track
meets, where the honors usually
narrow down to Columbia, Cornell,
Princeton and Pennsylvania.
The early pat t of the evening is
devoted to meetings along the
shores of the lake, where the del
egates are addressed by prominent
business men on the °pro' tunities
to mankind which they can find in
the various vocations of life Dur
ing the latter past of the evening
the men from each college and
university m_ret in separate group;
and discuss, mound large cozy fue
places, the questions of inteiest
which coneetn their alma mate'.
One of the most beneficial aspect ,
of the coming Pocono Pines con
ference is the social side. Here ii
A few days a man becomes acquaint
ed with men horn all the large seats
of learning in the edst and at
the same time obtains the view
point of college life that he could
n9t. have attained in yeats. Thus
while he will become more loyal to
his alma mater, respect and ad
miration f9r other colleges will glow
proportionally.
Of the fourteen colleges rep
resented at the confer once, Pt inceton
promises to take the lead. The
Orange and Black will have a del
egation of'seventy five men, among
whom are many athletes of varsity
type. Columbia, Pennsylvania,
1 1 J ohns Hopkins and Penn State will
also have large delegations.
This year Penn State should hal e
a large number of men at Pocono;
