POST-OFFICE OFFICIALS KEEP LOOKING FOR JOHN HARVARD

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Cambridge post-office officials in despair yesterday took University Hall into their confidence. For a week now they have been thumbing directories of the Alumni, telephone books, the city tax lists, and the University Catalogue in an effort to discover the residence of a Mr. John Harvard who lives in Cambridge, Mass., according to a post card received here.

The card was post-marked "The Dallas," Oregon, and came from a clipping bureau called Anderson and Groat.

The message reads: "In a recent issue of a prominent publication your name appeared in an interesting article. By returning this card and 25 cents this clipping will be returned to you by return mall."
