Of this number 25 have been filled to date, an equal number of undergraduates and graduates having given short speeches before organizations of varying descriptions.
Increase in Demand Shown

The demand for student lecturers comes from an expanding only church societies, but football squads, fencing teams, athletic banquets, and boys clubs.

Organizations asking for speakers have not confined themselves to requests for American born students. Several demands for foreigners have been received and filled. Among the men who have participated in the work of the Committee are J. K. Fairbank '29. G. R. Fitzpatrick sTS. G. H. Kahn Gr.ES, C. W. Lowrie 3TS, C. H. Pforzheimer '28. H. W. Remick '30, and A. W.
