SINGAPORE HARVARD CLUB WANTS DISCUSSION TOPICS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Disgusted at his inability to enter into University discussions until they are past and gone, due to his far removal from the scene of action, the president, secretary-treasure and sole member of the Harvard Club of Singapore Mr. Philip W. Thayor '14, wants to start a discussion of his own. The only trouble is that he lacks a subject.

"Under the circumstances," he writes to the Alumni Bulletin, "the club has decided to offer a prize for the best suggestion received by March 1, 1924, for a subject on which we can relieve ourselves of the telling phrases that we have been saving up for the last few years. At the option of the winner the prize will consist of a solid gold ivory mounted betel nut outfit or of a quart bottle of Haig and Haig (risk of entry to be borne by the winner)."

Only one subject is barred. Since he despairs of seeing another Yale game, Mr. Thayer will not consider the discussion of the football ticket situation.
