ASK CULTURE BATTLE FOR HARVARD AND YALE
Dean Alfred Hanf0rd Sug' gests Series of Competi-
 tive Examinations

New Haven, Nov. IS LP'-An an nual battle of culture, to supplement the historic athletic contests between Harvard and Yale, was suggested to the Harvard student council q week ago by Dean Alfred C. Hanford of Harvard college, the New Haven Register says today. The plan is for series Of competitive examina- tions between representatives Of the two universities. to be given in each department of study.
 Dean Hanford attended a recent meeting of the student council Of Harvard. according to the Register story and preached the project, say ing that sum of money is already available by donation.
 Ten men representing each insti- tuition would take identical cXamina- ton. similar to the Harvard "divi- sional" tests. The winning team would receive gold medals and a sum of money with which to pur- chase books for its university library.
 Yale has not yet adopted general examinations or the tutorial system. in use at Harvard, by which the student can specialize heavily in one subject Since English is strongly emphasized at the local institution, the Register says. the first competi- ton would be in that subject with history chemistry, the classics, modern languages, economies, the fine arts and other branches of study brought in as occasion arose.
 The plan has been presented for consideration at Yale, but it could not be learned what action if any had been taken on the matter.
