P.B.H. Committee Protests Doak Ruling to President

In protest against the recent ruling of the Department of Labor restricting foreign students from securing employment in this country, a petition has just been forwarded to President Hoover by the Foreign Students Committee of Phillips Brooks House. The statement reads in part as follows:

"We are convinced that the aforesaid regulation will impair that international good will and understanding which has been built up among the students of the various nations in the American institutions of higher learning. We feel deeply alarmed over the erection of a high tariff wall against student intercourse. The inevitable consequence of this regulation would be to create much unfavorable criticism in the homelands of these students who have come to our universities with the knowledge that America's tradition is that of equal opportunity to all."
