"It would be a graceful act if Americans would do what they could to reestablish the University of Louvain," said Robert H. Gardiner '76 to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday.

"Such action would be not only an act of friendship for the Belgian people, but also a testimonial of their admiration for Cardinal Mercier. It is peculiarly fitting that Harvard men should make some tangible evidence of their respect for this representative of a great sister University."

Mr. Gardiner is one of several prominent Boston business men engaged in inaugurating a campaign for a fund to be used for the re-establishment of the University of Louvain. Cardinal Mercier has given his hearty co-operation in forwarding the plan. Any who are interested in the work may send contributions to Kidder, Peabody & Co., 115 Devonshire street, Boston. There will be no personal solicitation of funds.
