We wish to support an appeal which is now launched
in Great Britain for funds with which to. establish a Chair and Library of American History in the University Of London. It is signed by Lcird Loch and Sir Frederick Macmillan on behalf Of a representative committee. There is already a LeCtureship, and the old UniVersities have bah lately received endowments fdr similar purposes, but our readerS know that there cannot possibly' be too much of such study here. The growth of comprehension between Great Britain and the United States has untold importanCe for us and for the world in the future. Gifts may be sent to the honorary treasurer, the Chair of American History Committee, University College, Gower ' Street, W.C. 1; and we hope they will be 'seixt quickly, as a committee is 'working in New York for this' Object, and we should like to see as much as possible of £80,000 needed raised here before it is raised in the States.
