At a recent meeting of the President and Fellows President Eliot reported that through the efforts of Professor Clement L. Smith and others, begun in 1889-90, interrupted for several years, and renewed in the year 1905-06, the sum of $1032.63 had been raised for the permanent endowment of a pew in the American Church at Berlin, to bear the name of Harvard University, and that the money had been paid into the treasury of the Church, whereupon it was voted that the thanks of the President and Fellows be sent to Professor Smith and the surviving contributors to the fund for providing this permanent testimony to the University's interest in the religious welfare of American students in Berlin.
