An Invitation for Conference.
President Smith read the account of an
informal meeting held at the office of Mr..
NJ. A. Ballinger some days ago. inviting
the association to appoint thtee delegates
to meet delegates from other associations
at 61O 14th street, January IL to consider
matters of interest to the city.
Mr.. ]. w. Babson thought, In view of the
fact that no specific business to be dis
cussed had been mentioned In the invita-
ton, the matter should be referred to the
executive committee. This was agreed to-
DR.. Robert Reyburn. before the meeting
closed. spoke in favor of submitting the
highway extension matter to the people by
popular vote. Personally he was opposed
to the act, because he thought the extern
sion of streets should be subordnated to
the health OF the city, and the sewerage
dered.
hallway Matters.
Mr.. J. D. Croissant,. from the committee
on railroads, rehearsed what had been done
In the way Of securing the extension Of the
Capital Traction railway into East Wash
ington to the Pennsylvania avenue bridge
This included a call on the District Com
missioners. the Senate committee and
Chairman Babcock. The committee learned
the East Washington Heights railroad had
a better chance Of getting charter to
serve the people of East Washington than
the present bill afforded. Chairman Bah
cock expressed the belief that this East
Washington Heights railroad bill would GER
tainly pass, but the association committee
Mr.. Croissant said, hesitated to indorse the
Washington Heights bill because of the
death Of the principal hacker of the pro-
posed railroad.
Mr.. Weller hoped the extension Of the
Capital Traction Company's tracks would
be insisted upon. He did not think 1t wise
to wait for an indefinite time to get relief
when the Traction Company could give
the service almost Immediately. He sug-
gested that the extension of the Traction
Company's tracks should be the bill in.

Upon suggestion, the motion was with
drawn and sent to the executive commit

committee upon the subject.

STUDENTS srARvE TO DEATH.
Distressing Poverty Depicted as Ex
istinE at Chicago Univcrsfty.

N
listing at Chicago University.
A special to the Baltimore Sun from Chi
cago. Ill. says: President Harper of the
University of Chicago, at the twenty first
convocation of the university, held at the
Auditorium Monday night, made the as
founding assertion that of five deaths
which had occurred at the university in the
last five years, three may be attributed
directly to starvation. His address has
created a sensation here. The president
stands by his declaration, although he re-
fuses to give any names.
Investigation at the university today de-
veloped the fact that among the 1900 stu
dents enrolled there scores are compelled
to struggle along on the scantiest food to
pay their way. This applies not only to
young men, but to young women as well.
THE question of providing nutritious food
versity Is an important one." said President
Harper, land 1t has been forced upon our
attention more than once In painful way.
I did not overstate the question in my adj
dress last night, when said that hundreds
of students in the university are living
upon q diet which does not properly sup
pert brainwork.
MANY are literally starving. The uni
vcrsity Is turning out men OF strong intel
ligence, but weak bodied Some of them are
neral and intellectual dyspepucs. 1t can
not be expected that they will be of much
use in the world. If the body Is not prop
erly nourished, the mind will refuse to act
as 1t should, and therefore hold that it is
as necessary to take care of and cultivate
the one as the other.
This is a subject upon which I have
thought deeply and nothing but the lack
of funds has prevented me from carrying
out some OF my ideas. What Is needed is
a place where the students can get good
food cheaply. By good food mean whole
some feod that Il web and properly cooked.
Some of them board in restaurants. which
is not SO bad; others live at the fraternity
houses, where the food is excellent but
others batch It and live on the smallest
sum with which they can get along
