PENNYPACKER TO LECTURE IN SOUTH

Will Talk on the College Entrance Requirements--Many Harvard Club Meetings Planned

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Henry Pennypacker '88, chairman of the Harvard Faculty Committee on Admission, will leave on January 19 for a tour of the South, which will last three weeks and take him as far as Atlanta. He will speak in schools of the principal Southern cities and confer with principals and teachers on questions of admission to college. Incidentally he will talk to Harvard Clubs and other meetings of Harvard men, discussing with them the newest developments in Cambridge and answering their questions about the University. His prime subject, however, is to acquaint educators and pupils with entrance requirements of the Eastern colleges and with other matters related to college entrance.

Former Headmaster of Boston Latin

Mr. Pennypacker, who was headmaster of the Boston Latin School before taking over his present post, makes a trip every year to some part of the country. Last year's trip took him as far west as Honolulu on a two month voyage, and the year before he visited the Middle and South West.

Raleigh, North Carolina, is the first stop on his this year's itinerary. He will visit the local high school there and speak before a dinner of Harvard men. January 22 will find him at Charleston, South Carolina, where he will talk at the high schools and the City College. He will be in Savannah the next two days, from where he will go to Atlanta, speaking at a Harvard Club meeting there.

To Spend Two Days in Richmond

Returning north Mr. Pennypacker will spend two days in Richmond, visiting the high schools and the City College and attending another Harvard Club meeting. On February 3 he will visit the Tome School at Port Deposit.

After two days in Baltimore, he will go to Washington and speak at the annual dinner of the Harvard Club of that city, closing his trip on February 8 and 9 with attendance at the annual meeting of the Headmasters' Association at Briarcliffe, New York.
