Use of Names of Pres. Lowell, Richards, Lanman, Unauthorized

A statement was issued last Friday by President Lowell, Professor Charles R. Lanman and Professor Theodore W. Richards '86 that the use of their names in connection with certain peace propaganda was unauthorized. A document had been circulated under the heading of a "Request of the Dutch League of Nations Committee to the Rulers of States, Members of governments and of Parliaments, and Delegates to the Peace Conference" asking them "to forget and forgive" matters connected with the war. The University names were attached to this document without authorization, and President Lowell and the others entered a protest of "while fervently desiring a lasting peace," they were not in accord with the sentiments it expressed.
