NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two weeks ago, about 30 graduate students held a bull session. The result is the two-day Harvard Conference for World Peace, scheduled to begin Friday at 7:30 p.m. in New Lecture Hall.

The conference is under the auspices of the Graduate Student's Committee for World Peace, whose temporary chairman is Eugene Sparrow 2Dv. The Committee was established at the bull session, and has been recognized by Dean Wild's office, publicity director Max Blue-stone Sp explained last night.

The purpose of the Conference, Blue-stone explained, is to "discuss the origins of the current impasse in international relations. Through a free presentation of varying points of view, we hope to provoke suggestions which will aid students to work for a lasting peace."

At the preliminary session Friday evening, "four speakers of divergent viewpoints" will discuss the "Cold War and the Problems of Peace." They are Henry D. Aiden, associate professor of Philosophy, C. Crane Brinton '19, McLean Professor of Ancient and Modern History, Reverend Joseph Fletcher of the Episcopal Theological Seminary, and Colsten Warne, professor of Economics at Amherst.

Among the sponsors of the peace conference are: F.O. Matthiessen, professor of History and Literature; L. A. Richards, University Professor; John D. Wild, professor of Philosophy; John Ciardl, Briggs-Copeland Assistant Professor of English Composition; Charles W. Duhig '29, Graduate Secretary of Brooks House; and Rabbi Maurice L. Zigmond of Hillel House.
