CLARK AND TICKNOR TO TALK TO HARVARD CLUBS

Plans for a speaking trip which will include the Harvard Clubs of Buffalo. New York, and of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were revealed last night by H. W. Clark '23, Assistant Director of Athletics at Harvard University. This tour, which will take place during the days of Monday, February 16, and Tuesday, February 17, is the fourth to be planned for the coming four weeks, in response to the annual invitation of the Associated Harvard Clubs, extended to officials of the University.

According to the original program. Mr Clark was to visit the Harvard Clubs of both Buffalo and of Pittsburgh, but it was later decided that B. H. Ticknor '31 would talk at the Harvard Club of Buffalo on Monday, followed by Mr. Clark's talk at Pittsburgh on the following night. Both lectures will be concerning the movements of Harvard athletics during the past year touching upon those features in which the respective audiences seem to be most interested.

During the past few years Harvard Clubs all over the country have combined in a request that representative members of the University should arrange for speaking engagements at various branches throughout the United States. W. J. Bingham '16 made a protracted tour through the middle west in 1928 and 1929. Last year he was asked to extend his trip to include the Pacific coast, involving nearly a month of travel. This year the responsibility has been divided; one trip in the Far West is already under way; two more, which have been planned to include the central states will start within a fortnight: while the Clark-Ticknor trip is to conclude the program for the year.

G. H. Edgell '09 dean of the Department of Landscape Architecture, gave a talk last Saturday. January 17, at the Harvard Club of San Diego, as the opening lecture of his tour in the Far West, and is working his way eastward by way of Colorado and Omaha. The last lecture of the series will take place in Washington. D. C. on Wednesday, February 4.

R. M. Ferry '12, assistant professor of Biochemistry and chairman of the Board of Tutors in Biochemical Sciences, also master -elect of Winthrop House, is scheduled to begin his tour of the Middle West with a lecture at the Harvard Club of Detroit on Monday, February 9, continuing in a circuit through Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and Akron, Ohio, returning to Boston on Wednesday, February 18.

On the following day, E. A. Whitney '17, assistant professor of the Department of History and Literature, and master-elect of Kirkland House, will open the second middlewestern tour with a talk at the Harvard Club of Buffalo.
