In an effort to strengthen the idea of an impartially sponsored forum on current affairs such as Yale's Political Union, the Student Council has set up a committee to investigate similar societies at other colleges and to back such an organization at Harvard.

The fact that few men of importance in the nation's affairs come to Harvard to address the students on national and international problems is partially accounted for by the fact that no undergraduate organization among the numerous ephemeral pressure groups have enough prestige to attract influential people.

At Yale on the other hand, the Political Union, a debating society with Conservative, Liberal, and Labor parties like the English Parliament, has succeeded in bringing a long list of well-known authorities to speak before it as witnesses. A cross-examination from the floor follows his address.
