Elis Will Play Host to Army Next Semester

Yale will open the facilities of her campus to the Army next year when somewhere between 50 and 100 officers will be admitted to the Eli department of regional studies. No academic programs relating to the national emergency have been announced at Harvard.

Speaking for the Department of International and Regional Studies here, Chairman Donald C. McKay last night announced that the Defense Department has expressed no intentions of sending an Army delegation to the University.

Although the number of men to go to Yale is still undertermined, officials in New Haven last night estimated that at least three entries of Silliman College, the largest of Yale undergraduate dormitories, will be completely taken over by the Army.

There are currently eight foreign service officers studying in the Harvard Regional Studies Program, McKay revealed, and this number is the largest ever. Although there has been no definite assurance from the Government, McKay expects an even larger group next year. Expansion of the department will not be considered until the new number is known, however.

The Harvard Department of International and Regional Studies was founded in 1946.
