...statement in the news columns of the CRIMSON of March 7 in regard to the Harvard Endowment Fund is slightly misleading. You say that "the committee has not attempted to give a great deal of publicity to their movement and raise the money in a short time, but they plan to go slowly and to give years to the collection of the fund."

Passports were issued from Washington to the volunteers apparently with no delay, in spite of the crisis. A good deal of anxiety naturally has made itself manifest in regard to the safety of the passage, but the French line has assured the American Ambulance Field Service Headquarters that every precaution will be taken.
