To Collect Stores of Books.

The general purposes IL. as far as
possible, to obtain proper employment
for the litterateurs. scientists and art
lists that have been divorced by the war
from their libraries and studios and
help to re- establish these institutions
of education and culture: to collect
stores of book that will refill the
despoiled libraries.
These funds and books are to be
turned over after the war to the King
of Belgium as a contribution and en-
coura cement for the re-establishment
of the universities, libraries and mu-
seums
The organization, headed by DR.. Hop
kins, is a subcommittee Of the central
Belgium relief fund, and has been ap-
proved by Emmanuel Havenith, the
Belgian minister.
AS the public has been appealed to
repeatedly for war relief funds this
committee finds it's field for assistance
restricted to the educational institu-
tions. the scientists and artists and
the lovers of art and education. To
these it is making strong appeal for

The committee is composed of many

lines. most OF whom are giving their
addresses on a lecture circuit now be-
ing arranged.
Explanation of Campaign.
In explaining this campaign DR.. Hop
kins said
"All scientific. literary and artistic
work is stopped in Belgium. Libraries,
universities and other educational in
situations have been devastated or
transformed into barracks. The schol
ars. research workers. also literary
men and artists. have been obliged to
drop their work. In many cases this
means more than a private loss but A
serious delay in the advancement of
knowledge. The Belgian scholarship
committee is raising a fund 10 give to
these worthy scholars and writer's a
chance to resume their work Of art or
science and to put them IN their feet
again.
In most cases it will be more eff
cient to give them our assistance in
England, in Holland. in France or wher-
ever they are. but in a few cases we
contemplate having them brought over
here. Belgian professors have been
temporarily engaged by Princeton Uni
versty. the George Washington Univer-
SHY I1dI Val IlliN clSItS tHe CHlNeTSlty
of Pennsylvania, the Baltimore branch
of the Carnegie Institute. Yale Univer-
sity and the University of Chicago. In
one of these cases the honorarium has
been partly paid by the Belgian scholar
ship committee, and we hope that the
subscriptions will be sufficiently liberal
to allow to give 4 similar chance to
many others and thus to be useful, at
the same time, to Belgium and to our
own country.
THE committee undertakes to central
