ALIEN STUDENTS FORBIDDEN WORK BY LABOR DECREE

F. W. Hunnewell '02, Secretary of the Corporation, has received from the Department of Labor notice of the Doak order forbidding students admitted to the United States under a non-quota basis from working to meet their expenses. The number of men at Harvard last year who were admitted in this classification was approximately 100 men, or one-third of the total group of foreign students in attendance at the University.

35 Harvard Men Affected

R. A. Sharpe, Secretary on Employment, is at work determining how many of this year's group of foreign students will be affected by the order. Sharpe's estimate is about 35, but files of last Monday's registration are not entirely compiled so as to give this information.

The publishing of the recent ruling earlier in the week has aroused considerable comment in the press due to utterances by various university heads, led by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is to conform with the ruling, according to Dr. K. T. Compton, President. Dr. D. L. Marsh, president of Boston University, was the only nearby educational leader to issue a statement protesting the order.
