THREE FRENCH TEACHERS TO JUDGE PASTEUR TRIALS

Professor L. J. A. Mercier, and R. L. Hawkins, and Mr. E. L. Raiche, all of the French department, will be the judges of the preliminary debates for the Pasteur medal, which will be held at 8 o'clock this evening in Sever 36. This competition is open to all men in the University, candidates being required to speak for five minutes on either the affirmative or negative side of the question: "Resolved, that the demilitarization of the left bank of the Rhine under international supervision, is necessary for the maintenance of peace in Europe."

This will be the twenty-seventh annual debate for the medal established in 1898 by Pierre de Cubertin, who had been sent to America to study American educational institutions. He established contests in various colleges under the name of Frenchmen of importance, naming the one at Harvard after Pasteur.

The purpose of these debates is to sequaint students in American colleges with French life and institutions. The debate is held under the joint suspices of the French Department, and the Debating Council.

From the trials tonight, six men will be picked to compete in the finals.
