...organizations sponsored by the Phillips Brooks House Association, the International Council constitutes an important part of the foreign student work at Harvard. It is, primarily, a discussion group which devotes its attention to consideration of problems of international interest.

In addition to the more formal meetings the Council intends to utilize the Shepard room in Brooks House as an informal gathering place. Newspapers and periodicals from several nations are to be kept on file in this room for reference...

Last year the team, on its Southern trip, traveled to Washington, D. C., Atlanta and Jacksonville. At the same time a group went west to debate the prohibition question in Indianapolis, Omaha and Chicago. The combined tour covered a distance greater than any trip taken by any other team of Harvard representatives, with the exception of the occasional Olympic entrants. This year debates will be held with Dartmouth at Hanover, and with other institutions in New York City, Canada and Florida. The annual meeting with Boston College will be given in Symphony Hall...
