PHILLIPS BROOKS HOUSE TO PROTEST DOAK RESOLUTION

A protest to the Doak Resolution prohibiting foreign students from earning their way through college was drafted last night by the Foreign Students' Committee of Phillips Brooks House. The protest is to be indorsed by the faculty committee on foreign students and will be directed to Secretary Doak and to President Hoover.

The committee, which consists of M. S. Knowles '34, chairman, R. L. Barhens '34, Cullison Cady '35, D. S. Carmichael '35, H. E. Holm '34, David Martin '35, and Robert Paul '36, made the following statement:

"In drafting this protest the committee realizes that there is the possibility that some American students might be deprived of employment because a foreign student is holding the position. However, we fell that this is only a rare occasion, and that these unofficial ambassadors have the privilege that every man in college has, of earning his way if it is necessary. The recent-action of the government seems to be in direct contradiction to any conditions that would eventually bring about better international understanding. The committee does not believe that a student should use college as a means of getting employment and then leave the institution, but it is the opinion of the committee that while foreign men are in our colleges they should have the right to live and work as the American students do."

In direct connection with this work, the committee will make a survey in order to determine what the present foreign student population is in Harvard, how many of these students are non-quotamen, what percentage of them are employed, what is the nature of the work done and the compensation, and finally, who is the hypothetical American student deprived of employment by foreign student competition.
