8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
With the second day of the Louvain Library drive completed, the Executive Committee anounced that although the reports showed collectors at work in all parts of the University, only a fraction of the collections had been turned in at the campaign office in the Crimson Building at a late hour last night. No figures were given out.
A drive among the Faculty will be started today with the aim of obtaining a 100 percent collection. The progress of this drive, together with the percentage collected in the College and in each of the Graduate Schools, will be indicated on the chart at Leavitt and Peirce's.
The Committee will send out a second letter to the collectors today urging that all receipts be turned in promptly at the Crimson Building each afternoon. This is especially important today and tomorrow since Chairman C. D. Whidden '23 will give out in Monday's CRIMSON a statement of the total amount collected to date.
"The rebuilding of the Library of Louvain offers an opportunity f9r our students to help pay part of the debt which we owe to the first nation to stem the German advance. Professors from Louvain have taught at Harvard. Harvard's president holds a Louvian degree. The relations of the two universities have been close. It would be a calamity if Harvard did not take her place frankly and fully with the other American colleges in the movement to restore to Louvain at least a part of what she sacrificed in the great war." DEAN G. H. EDGELL '09
