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.

The much greater length than breadth of the section is a serious problem especially as regards the more-crowded western side of the proposed rectangular Yard.
