Confab Planned For University on Personality
Social security through personality adapted for success in marriage, business, and society will be discussed at an all-University conference May 25 and 26.
Planned in order to bring before University students a phase of education which is not stressed through regular academic channels, the conference, leaders hope, will register student interest in personality study and improvement. If the conference proves valuable, it may be a foundation for additional work in personality development at the University. Will Last Two Days

Foster, author of the book "Marriage and Family Relationships" and director of the family life department at the Merrill-Palmer school in Detroit, will speak on "How to Make Marriage Work."
