PRESIDENT WIRES CONSENT TO PRINT CORRESPONDENCE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Coolidge, in whose possession is the correspondence in the accompanying story, requested that the CRIMSON obtain the consent of Mr. Roosevelt before revealing the facts of the alleged naming of the Lowell House bells. The following telegram was dispatched to the CRIMSON last night:

"As a former President of the Harvard CRIMSON I have not the slightest objection to your publishing the Lowell House Bells correspondence except that I am inclined to think the Lampoon would be a more appropriate medium. The correspondence consists of the letter from Brother Lucas received here March Twelfth; my letter to the House Master of March Twenty-Fourth and my final reply of April Third. In spite of it all, the next time I go to Cambridge I propose to listen to those bells. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
