STUDENT GROUPS WILL PROTEST TEACHERS OATH

Plan Meeting Here on Eve of Hearing; Holcombe, Prichard to Speak Monday in Emerson D at 8 O'Clock

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Various organized student groups will stage a protest meeting Monday evening here to urge repeal of the Teachers' Oath Bill in the forthcoming session of the Massachusetts legislature, it was learned yesterday.

The meeting, which comes as a prelude to the hearings before the joint Committee on Education of the State legislature at the State House beginning next Tuesday, is scheduled to take place in Emerson D at 8 o'clock. All undergraduates are invited to attend.

Holcombe Will Speak

Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government, and Edward F. Prichard, Jr. 2L will speak at the meeting in an effort to crystallize student opposition to the Oath Bill. At the close of the meeting a telegram of protest will be dispatched to the Education Committee directing the hearings.

Among the state and nation-wide organizations sponsoring the campaign for repeal of the bill are the Massachusetts Progressive Committee, the National Student Federation of America, the American Student Union, the Student Christian Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the Society for Freedom in Teaching, and the American Federation of Labor.
