Cambridge, England, November 29, 1928--An eloquent speech for his native land by T. H. Eliot '28, an assistant managing editor of the CRIMSON last year, and grandson of the late Charles W. Eliot '53, former president of Harvard University, resulted in the voting down by the judges of a condemnatory resolution following a debate here.
