...petition asking the Student Council to support President Conant's stand against the Teachers' Oath Law deserves universal support from the College. When the legislative committee convenes again tomorrow, the mounting tide of opposition to the Oath will gain even more momentum if the Harvard student body pulls strongly for repeal.
