Grads Give $375 For Council War Library

Three Harvard alumni have donated $375 toward the $2000 fund which the Student Council is raising for 12 special "war libraries" to be distributed around the University, Langdon P. Marvin, Jr. '41, Council President, announced last night.

The contributors are Donald K. David, who graduated from the Business School in 1920; William K. Richardson '80; and Roy E. Larsen '21. Larsen, who is a publisher of Life and Time, originally suggested that the Council solicit funds from a few interested alumni rather than attempt to make a mass appeal to the entire graduate body.

40 Volumes Each

Each of the war libraries will contain about 40 volumes, dealing with the economic, political, and diplomatic background of the war, ranging from collections of documents to interpretative works.

The list has been drawn up by the Widener staff in collaboration with the Council and the Faculty. Originally the list contained some 70 titles, but is now being revised and reduced to 40 books.
