Packard, Jr. '20, Assistant Professor of Public Speaking, members of the debating team will lend their services to Phillips Brooks House when the occasion demands.

Although the teams have not yet spoken, their first opportunity will probably come within two weeks.

So far this year, Phillips Brooks House has received eight applications from outside organizations for entertainers.
