V. M. Fry '30 and L. S. Feuer 2G. will represent the Harvard section of the Association of Unemployed College Alumni at the national congress in Washington today and tomorrow.

Lash, chairman of the association.

A meeting of the Boston Branch of the Association was held at Phillips Brooks House on April 13, which drew up a program calling for free admission to graduate school courses, free use of the Library stacks, free use of athletic facilities, and aid to unemployed members of reunion classes.

Employment bureaus have been established on nearly 90 per cent of the nation's campuses, the Federation's survey showed.
