This is a direct appeal to our sense of humanity on a scale that has never been known before. No one can be deaf to it, least of all Harvard men, who have never been slack when such a call has come.

At Rheims, the men were directed and instructed in their work of rebuilding the Church of Saint Jacques by M. Deneu, who is considered the greatest living authority on Gothic and Renaissance Architecture and who has entire charge of the work of rebuilding the world-famous Cathedral at Rheims. During this work M. Deneu...
