A COMPLIMENT FROM AFAR.

The appeal, reprinted this morning in another column, from the Dodecanesian Students' Council asking for the University's support in re-establishing Greek claims to certain islands now held by Italy, gives a touching indication of the confidence which exists between students in countries widely separated. It is difficult for American university men, unfamiliar as they are with any form of external oppression, to appreciate fully the part that their brothers-in-learning across the sea, play in securing freedom for many an oppressed fatherland.

It is, therefore, a compliment of no mean nature to be asked to lend support to fellow students in a far country, even though under the circumstances, that support must needs be moral rather than physical.
