PROFESSORS BACK FROM WAR ZONE

The Cunard liner, Laconia, which docked at the East Boston docks late Tuesday evening, brought a number of Harvard professors back from the scene of the war. Professor Frederic J. Stimson, Professor of Comparative Legislation, who has just been appointed ambassador to Argentina, was detained in Germany 15 days by the authorities. Professor Charles Peabody, of the Peabody Museum, was obliged to cut short researches in Syria owing to unsettled conditions, but expects to return in November.

Archdeacon Cunningham, who will deliver a course of lectures here, and E. W. Forbes, Director of the Fogg Museum, arrived from England on the Laconia.
