...plan for the selection of the teams, to make the dual Spring trip, was announced last night. This dual trip will extend as far west as Des Moines, Iowa, and as far south as Atlanta, Georgia. Two teams will leave at the same time, one for the western tour, the other for the southern trip. The teams will be chosen during the first week in March by a board of judges which will probably include Celian Ufford '19, instructor in public speaking at Harvard, and E. M. Rowe '27. Both are coaches of the Harvard Debating Council. The judges will...
...insure the success of the House Plan, the tutors must have no part in the administrative duties of the College, restricting themselves to an advisory and social capacity," declared L. D. Peterkin, a member of the Classical Department of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a tutor in the Department of English and the Classics, when asked his opinion of the duties of the tutors under the House plan.

All classes of students, all fields of study, will be united in one House...

While a tutor's wife could aid him in creating an hospitable atmosphere in his apartments, the presence of women and children about a student building, such as the House, would not be wholly desirable. Care in selecting the location of the married tutors' apartments might do much to eliminate any disadvantage on that score. Peterkin believes that the unmarried men should be scattered throughout the Houses, keeping near enough...
...Harvard has arranged such a schedule as is most expedient in its own particular case. The vast number of examinations and the three hour duration of each one are facts which combine to justify the period of two weeks and a half. Furthermore, it is firmly believed that a plan which involves more than a single examination in one day defeats its own purpose when the physical strain is taken into account. Yale, on the other hand, in waiving all such considerations, subjects students to the possibility of enduring as many as four two hour examinations in the span...
