To the Editor of the Crimson:

In connection with the Crimson's story of yesterday on American Defense, Harvard Group, I ought to point out that the group did not itself establish a Harvard Hospital for Communicable Diseases in London, but that its Committee on Medical Service has cooperated with the University in raising funds for such a hospital, to be sent to Great Britain.

It would, I believe, be helpful, also, to publish a complete list of the officers, instead of the abbreviated list in your story, so that any who are interested in the organization may know to whom to address themselves. The list follows:

Chairman--Professor Ralph B. Perry.

Vice-Chairmen--Professors Paul H. Buck, Mason Hammond, and Charles H. Taylor, and Richard M. Gummere; secretary, Philip Hofer; treasurer, Harold J. Coolidge; counsellors--William P. Bunyon, President Ada L. Comstock of Radcliffe, Professor Samuel H. Cross, Henry R. Hope, Dean James M. Landis of the Harvard Law School, Miss Gladys H. McCafferty, Professor Edward S. Mason, John M. Russell, and Professors Arthur M. Schlesinger and Warren A. Seavey.

Committee chairmen include: Care of European Children, Richard M. Gummere; Medical Service, Dr. Reginald Fitz; Information, Ludlow Griscom; Public Opinion, Professor Payson S. Wild, Jr.; Radio and Speaking, Professor John M. Potter; Military and Technical Training, Professor Ralph Beatley; Naval Training, Dean Delmar Leighton; Morale and National Unity, Dr. Dumas Malone; Correspondence, Professor Crane Brinton; and Registration and Personnel, George W. Cottrell, Jr. Very truly yours,   Donald C. McKay, Chairman.   Committee on Press and Writing.
