New Organization Will Study Negro Problems Locally

A new student organization, interested primarily in studying the Negro problem, came to life yesterday.

A group of Harvard and Radcliffe students gathered in a small apartment on Massachusetts Avenue to discuss the organization of an action group to investigate possible discriminatory situations in the Yard and elsewhere in Cambridge.

The members made it clear that their organization "did not arise out of a desire to remedy any particular current situation." They would prefer, at the outset, to limit activities, and invite guest-lecturers from social-service ranks to help clarify the present need for the understanding of human relations.

A seven-man committee has been appointed to pass upon the advisability of joining the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
