Oxford and Cambridge Universities have sent to President Conant a reply to the Christmas greetings and expressions of "sympathy and admiration" communicated to those universities in December by President Conant and President Charles Seymour, of Yale.
The message received here is signed by Ernest A. Benians, Master of St. John's College, Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University, and George Stuart Gordon, President of Magdalen College, Vice Chancellor of Oxford University.
The message follows:
"To Harvard and Yale Universities Oxford and Cambridge unite in grateful acknowledgment for their inspiring message of encouragement and goodwill, for their tribute to the resolution of this country, and for their generous confidence that this resolution will be rewarded with victory.
"The cause of liberty and learning now eclipsed over most of Europe is nowhere better understood than in the great and historic institutions from which these Christmas greetings come. The more profoundly do we appreciate this noble and moving recognition of our endeavor, together with the other universities of Great Britain, to maintain the continuity of scholarship and to keep even in these days the standards of knowledge unimpaired and the sources of truth unsoiled."
