Announce Sites For Summerfield Tests
Nominate 298 Men---
Six cities, Chenute, Colby, Dodge City, Lawrence, Salina, and Wichita, have been selected as the sites where preliminary Summerfield examinations will be held this spring. Olin Templin, chairman of the Summerfield Scholarship committee, announced this morning. Saturday, March 22, has been announced as the date the first tests will be given.
To date 298 nominations for the Summerfield scholarships and 141 nominations for the women's honor scholarships have been received according to Mrs. Flora Boynton, secretary of the committee. However, at least 325 men and 150 women are expected to take the examinations, she said.
Approximately 10 women will be awarded $100 scholarships on the basis of their ratings on the tests, their high school records, and recommendations from their high school faculties. The scholarships for which they are competing are the Donnelly Honor Scholarships, the Sadie A. Lawson Honor Scholarship, the W.S.G.A. School Scholarship, and the U. G. Mitchell Honor Scholarship.
The 30 to 35 men with the highest scores on the Summerfield examinations will come to Lawrence April 21-22 for final written tests and personal interviews with the members of the Summerfield committee. From this group between 12 and 15 men will be awarded Summerfield Scholarships for their college careers.
The committee by whom the women's Honor Scholarships will be awarded includes J. H. Nelson, chairman; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College; C. P. Osborne, professor of philosophy; E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School; and Elvira Weeks, professor of chemistry.

Thirteen Enter Oratorical Contest On Democracy
Harvard Dean Stresses English Proficiency
Twelve entries in the oratorical contest on "American Youth and Democracy" to be held March 18 by the debate council, were received by E. C. Buchler, professor of speech, before the deadline for entries.
On account of the number of contestants, the length of the orations has been shortened from 10 to eight minutes.
Thirty dollars in prizes will go to the three winners in the contest. The event will be judged by three faculty members.
The need of proficiency in speaking and especially in writing correct English was stressed by Luther G. Holbrook, assistant dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard University, during a short interview this morning.
Winners of the contest will form a team to speak before clubs and civic organizations.
Palmer Writes Leading Article In Law Review
Said Dean Holbrook, "One of the most enjoyable parts of my visit to your University today has been the opportunity of chatting with Dean Lawson about the difficulties which the average college graduate encounters when he goes on to take additional
work at the graduate level.
Lack Writing Proficiency
Shoemaker to Give Language Lecture At Wisconsin
English Usage Underrated
George E. Palmer, professor of law, is the author of the leading article in the February issue of the Columbia Law Review on "Trusteeship Under the Trust Indenture."
Dean Holbrook has been visiting the University the past two days and has talked with a number of students interested in work at Harvard.
"I think it is rather common for college men, and I am sure it was true in my own case, to underrate the importance of being able to speak and write our English language in an effective, succinct, and graphic style."
"This suggestion is followed by our English department which samples the written work of every man in the school and each man whose written English does not meet our relatively high standards is required to take extra work under the supervision of the English department.
"It has been our experience that men coming to the business school have more difficulty in writing satisfactory reports than in fulfilling any other single requirement. For this reason we suggest that all men considering graduate work at Harvard take a substantial amount of work in written English in their undergraduate program.
W. H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of romance languages will go to Madison, Wis. Tuesday where he will deliver a lecture at the University of Wisconsin under the auspices of the language department's lecture series.
The article, dealing with the makeup of a trusteeship, is an introduction to a large work to be published later, concerning powers to be granted, duties to be imposed up trustees holding security for bondholders.

May Stage Coronado Exposition For Anniversary
The so-called Spring Opening opened as planned by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce last night, but due to the un-spring-like weather, the crowd was much smaller than had been anticipated.
However, some hardy souls did trudge through the snow to look at windows and attend the planned entertainments.
Leonard Axe, chairman of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary committee, met yesterday with members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Leslie Waters, chairman of the entertainment committee for the Seventy-fifth Anni-
