AN INTERNATIONAL COURTESY.

President Lowell's action in extending to one of the exiled Louvain professors a lectureship in the University is a splendid example of intercollegiate and international courtesy. Forced to disperse, and driven from its seat, the faculty of the Belgium university has been compelled to seek the shelter of a sister English college. Now Harvard extends its hospitality to the stricken institution. It is an opportune moment to prove Harvard's international interests, which pass beyond the bounds of race and language, and the action of President Lowell is sure to be cordially received by those who are interested in both the institutions involved.
