Alumni Meeting Debates Ways to Publicize College

Over 60 Harvard Club representatives debated how best to spread the College name in areas far from Cambridge, in a closed meeting yesterday. They will wind up their meeting this morning with closed discussions on the question of scholarship aid, David D. Henry '41, Director of Admissions, said last night.

Henry, in a talk on the "Role of the Alumni Interviewer," told the alumni how they could help the College in evaluating prospective freshmen. Interview reports, he said, were extremely important to the Admissions Committee.

Dana Cotton, Director of Placement in the Graduate School of Education, spoke to the group on the "Role of the School's Recommendations." He indicated the problems high school counselors have when alumni in areas far removed from the College are poorly informed about recent policies.
