DELEGATE TRIALS TODAY FOR READING OF POEMS

Chosen Man to Read at Vassar May 12 With Delegates of 20 Colleges--First Time Expenses Are to be Paid

Tryouts to select the Harvard delegate to the Intercollegiate Poetry Reading will be held in Holden Chapel today at 2 o'clock. Selections must be six minutes in length, made up of either one long or several short poems, and the contestants need not confine their choice to modern poetry.

The man chosen in the reading this afternoon will join delegates from 20 or more New England colleges at Vassar on May 12, where the Intercollegiate Poetry Reading is to be held.

Although these readings, which are held to stimulate interest in poetry among college students, have been annual affairs, this is the first year that the expenses of the delegates will be paid.
