West of Minnesota University and the VicePresident Joe Ellis, who is head registrar of Yale. Professor Guild has been the Wes-leyan representative for the last five years. Last year the convention met in Minneapolis and before that in Denver. It makes the circuit of the states every few years so that every state can participate in the program.
