...anonymous donor has given the Harvard Undergraduate Council $800 to hire two students to plan and conduct a fund-raising drive. The HUC hopes the drive will elicit $7000 from alumni who were active in student government while they were at Harvard...

Derom ascribes the long survival of the graft to the unusually good match between the tissue and cell types of the donor and recipient, as well as to Vereecken's youth and will to live...

He was still being fed artificially...
