tee. held in the New Willard last night.
ii was announced that 400 applications
for membership had been received in the
past week There We're sixty-two col
! leges represented in the applications last
week. Princeton led with forty. Yale
vas second with twenty-three, and Har-
ward a close third with twenty-five.

The central committee. with Proctor
L. Dougherty presiding. met to discuss
plans with the executive committee.

| Fowler, George c. Totten. jr., Isaac
Hit. Jr., Wallace d. Mclean. and Ralph
p. Barnard, secretary. Mr.. Barnard re-
ported that he had sent out from his
Office in the Columbian Building more
than three thousand invitations TO col
lege men TO make application for MEM
