few people outside Holland have heard

Professors and students are members
Of the Belgian refuge colonies in Hol-
land. After the fall of Antwerp a large
number OF Belgian troops crossed the
Dutch frontier and were interned at
Amersfoort until the duration of the
war. The folly of keeping together a
large body of men with nothing to oc-
cupy their time or to break the mon

realized. Prof. Shrijnen of the Uni
versity of Utrecht made an appeal to
refugee Belgian professors, and in
January the first term of the Uni
Versity of Amersfoort was opened with
hundred students enrolled. The first
course offered was in pedagogy, under

Naturally, Tommy has no idea
