NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As a symbol of the unity of purpose of students throughout the world and in commemoration of the hundreds of Czech students killed and tortured on November 17, 1930, today will be observed as international Students Day.

President Roosevelt '04 called it a day in which "American youth joins with the youth of all freedom-loving nations in pledging itself to those tasks and to that faith in the world of tomorrow toward which we now advance."

Morning chapel services today, conducted by Professor Kirtley F. Mather, will take special note of the significance of the day.
