President Tyler Dennett of Williams College in a letter to the committee, which was read by chairman Newton D. Baker, who presided, reported the action of the board of trustees of Williams College to the effect that the program for the institute will be formulated by a committee including leader of the National Conference and representatives of the college faculty.
