At Providence

Equipped with Coronas (type-writers), golf sticks, orations in English , themes on hydraulics, tortoise-shell spectacles, 250 sons and daughters of New China studying at Eastern colleges and universities marched onto Brown University's campus at Providence, R. I., held the 19th annual conference of the Eastern section of the Chinese Students' Alliance.

All political and religious differences were forgotten. " We have come to America on a serious business bent," said their Chairman, " too serious for surface chaos."

The conference schedule began at 6.30 A.M. and lasted until ten at night.
