Abstract
A possible avenue towards the covariant formulation of the bosonic Mat rix Theory is explored. The approach is guided by the known covariant description of the bosonic membrane. We point out various problems wit h this particular covariantization scheme, stemming from the central q uestion of how to enlarge the original U(N) symmetry of Matrix Theory while preserving all of its essential features in the infinite momentu m frame.
