Chance to Aid Belgian Students

The professors and a large number of students have been driven from the Belgian universities of Brussels, Ghent, Liege, and Louvain, as well as from a few of the leading institutes such as the School of Commerce at Antwerp and the School of Mining Engineers at Mons. Some of them are now at Oxford and a few are coming to Harvard. For the purpose of aiding these men, who for various causes are ineligible for the military service, the Cambridge University Belgian Relief Fund has been organized and an appeal made especially to members of Harvard, which is represented by Professor Barrett Wendell '77, of the English Department.

The total number of persons assisted by the committee is 324, the expense of supporting them being from $750 to $1000 a week. It is estimated that this work will have to be carried on at least until the end of June and that a fund of $25,000 will be necessary, of which more than one-half has been raised. Subscriptions are being solicited for this fund and all men in the University who desire to contribute should send their checks to A. Leo Everett, treasurer, 37 Wall street, New York.
