Ithaca, n. Y, Aug. 29-What is
probably the greatest gathering OF
students the world has even seen
opened here today when the Eighth
International Congress of Students
was called to order The convention
will last until September 13, after
which many of the delegates will tour
the Eastern section of the United
States.
Delegates have been arriving from
all parts of the world for the past
several days. They We're all received
and made the guests of the Consmo-
politan Club, of Cornell University,
under the auspices of which organi-
cation the Congress is being held.
This afternoon all of the delegates
were taken on an inspection tour of
Cornell University. The members of
the Central international Committee
met at the Cosmopolitan Club and
the Congress and to establish rules
for procedure.
A reception to the delegates was
held in the quadrangle 81 the Univer-
sity and an address of elcome was
made by President T. F. Crane of
Cornell University. An address of
welcome was also made by President
sub HUI, OF the Cornell Cosmopolitan
Club. Responses were made on be-
half of the foreign delegates.
In the evening formal matters
came before the Congress. Tomor-
row the delegates will hear Dr. Rey-
monde Falci on the "Corde Fratres
Movement in Italy" DR.. Falci is
editor of the Corde 'Fratres, Inter
national Federation of Students,
Rivista, of Italy. 1.-THE International
Student Movement in South Amer
icaT will be-, tfie subject OF Ricardo
d. .Alessandro of the Argentine Re-
public. The International Student
movement in scores of other coun-
tries in all parts of the world will
be told about by the delegates OF
those countries. The International
Congress of Students is probably one
of the most truly consmopolitaa or
CARNATIONS in the world. 1t is doubt
full if any other convention OF Con-
gress in the United States ever
brought together the representatives
of SO many different countries. There
is not nation considered among the
civilized countries which is not rep
resented.
