The Committee on Naval Affairs in the United States Senate has officially approved of the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to give to Harvard University the Nordenfeldt gun, the set of colors and the silver loving cup presented to the cruiser "Harvard" at the beginning of the war with Spain by graduates and undergraduates of the University.
