Dilemma

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The CRIMSON editorial speaks of rail-roading through a War Memorial Chapel. A large nation-wide Harvard Committee studied the question of the form of memorial for the five years 1919-1924, and submitted its final report at the Detroit meeting of the Associated Harvard Clubs in 1924. Even then it was not acted upon, but lay on the table a year before its final adoption at the Baltimore meeting in 1925. At that time many Harvard men thought there had been undue delay. Perhaps the CRIMSON editor may think the question should be decided some time. All subscriptions to the Harvard War Memorial have been given for a church. To use the fund for any other form of memorial would be a breach of trust. Many subscribers, and some for large sums, are dead. To try to un scramble the egg now would be a disgrace to the Harvard Corporation and to all other Harvard men connected with this cause. Allston Burr,   Chairman Harvard War Memorial Fund Committee.
