PACKARD APPOINTS HARVARD DELEGATE TO I. P. CONVENTION

Candidates for Reading Contest are to Report Monday

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor F. C. Packard '20 will be in Holden Chapel on Monday, April 27, at 3 o'clock to select the Harvard delegate to the annual Intercollegiate Poetry Convention which is sponsored by the Speech Departments of several Eastern colleges for the fostering of oral reading of good verse. The convention will take place this year on May 9 in the evening at Wellesley College.

All students who are interested in oral reading are asked to come at that time prepared to read a poem of their own selection not exceeding five minutes in length. Modern poetry is preferred but the only restriction is that so-called "dramatic" poems are not wanted. The poems need not be memorized.

The Harvard representative at the Intercollegiate Poetry Convention at Smith College last year was Robert Haydon Jones '30.
