Wener '33, and Horace Hart '33. Miss Mady Affre, French Exchange Student at Wellesley, is associated with the French delegation. A few observers' posts are still open to students.
System of Committees
Much of the work of the Model Assembly is done in Committees, which whip into shape subjects to be discussed at the Plenary Sessions of the Assembly proper. From Harvard, Messrs. Rubin, Shuebruck, Daniels, Loring and Portal are working upon problems incidental to the task of disarmament. Messrs. Furlong, Blinn, Hoffman, Davis, and Kersten are studying the question of revision of treaties, with especial reference to the pressing dispute over the Polish Corridor. Economic problems, with emphasis laid upon debts, reparations, and tariffs, will be considered by
Messrs. de Visme, Behrens, Sullivan, Page, Landau, Sullivan, Salant, Hickey, Grossman, and Cadman.
The Harvard delegation will leave Harvard Square by bus on Friday morning, March 4, at 8 o'clock, for Providence. Dr. Albert Mead, Acting President of Brown, and Dean Margaret S. Morriss of Pombroke will welcome the delegates Friday morning will be taken up by a special session of a Model Council, under the direction of D. H. Popper '32, chairman of the French delegation and of the Harvard delegation, to consider the present crisis in Sino-Japanese relations. After a luncheon for the visiting students, Committee meetings will be held on Disarmament, Economic Questions, and the Polish Corridor, and the day will end with the annual dance of the Model League. Saturday morning and afternoon will be taken up by the Plenary Sessions of the Model Assembly, at which the resolutions adopted at the Committee meetings and the Council Session will be generally debated. Various systems of balloting will be employed in an effort to ascertain representative opinion of both student groups and the nations represented. In accordance with the new customary mode of Model League procedure, the session will close with a critique of the Assembly meetings as a whole. James G. MacDonald, Chairman of the Foreign Policy Association, a man widely experienced in student organization work along these lines, will deliver the critical summary.
Plan 1935 Assembly
Immediately after the conclusion of the Assembly a skeleton group of organizers will meet to commence the preliminaries for the 1933 Model League session. While it is too early as yet to predict with any degree of certainty where this session will be held, Harvard is being prominently suggested by many students as a very desirable locality. The existence of a strong nucleus of experienced men at the University next year will undoubtedly be an important factors in influencing the final choice.
Mount Holyoke Assembly
The largest single group at the Assembly this year will be sent from Mount Holyoke College, where 42 delegates have been working on the agenda. The Wellesley group in next in size, with 36 women as delegates and six representing the Wellesley "News". Smith follows with 30. A large influx of unofficial observers and interested faculty members is expected to swell the numbers of the meeting considerably above the limits of the Assembly proper, which consists of some 300 members. It is expected that the seating capacity of Alumnae Hall, Pembroke's large new auditorium, will be taxed to the utmost in order to accommodate the entire assemblage. Students will descend upon Providence from 25 eastern colleges: from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, Brown, Dartmouth, Colby, Salem Normal, Vermont, Rhode Island State, Connecticut College for Women, Boston University, Springfield, Wellesley, Smith, Radcliffe, Mount Holyoke, Pembroke, Wheaton, Pine Manor, Massachusetts State, Clark, and Tufts
