ADVOCATE DENIES TUTORING SCHOOLS ADVERTISING SPACE

Attributes Widespread Use of Schools To University's Attitude in Many College Courses

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Expressing dissatisfaction with the tutoring school system at Harvard, the Advocate Board voted last night to reject all future advertisements of the schools in order to uphold its integrity.

Under the leadership of Thornton F. Bradshaw '40, President of the Advocate, the literary magazine was the first to join officially into the campaign against tutoring schools begun by a similar announcement of the CRIMSON last week.

Giving up twelve per cent of their annual advertising revenue, last night's proclamation stated that "the Board of the Advocate feels that, in spite of the fact that such a course means a severe financial loss to the magazine, it is upholding its integrity in taking this action; and we strongly urge all other undergraduate magazines to follow our lead."

Attack University

Although condemning "certain practices which have been resorted to by tutoring schools," the Advocate continues "our quarrel is no more with the tutoring schools than with the arrangement and administration of courses in the University that make such a system feasible."

Throwing its full weight into the fight against the present system of tutoring schools in Cambridge, the Advocate proclamation states that it will do "all in our power to aid the Harvard CRIMSON in its campaign."
