HLU Attacks Churchill In New Bellicose Role

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In an open letter to the Board of Overseers, the Liberal Union requested last night that Winston Churchill be awarded a new honorary degree by the University in recognition of his "new role"--that of "Doctor of Anglo-American Divinity."

Pointing out that Churchill was given a Doctor of Laws in 1943 "acclaiming the man who led Britain through its darkest hour of war," the letter remarked that "he now fills a different role... (he) pleads for an Anglo-American bloc... which must eventually lead to war," and ought therefore to be reconsidered in that light.

Among their other activities, the HLU is taking part in the sponsorship of a "Win the Peace" tally in Jordan Hall t 8 o'clock on March 29.
