Corporation Passes Resolve Against Terms of Fordney Bill--"Would Harm American Scholarship"
A resolution protesting against those terms of the Fordney Tariff Bill now in committee, which place a duty on the importation of foreign books more than twenty years old and of almost all books in foreign languages, has been passed by the Corporation of the University and communicated to Chairman Fordney of the Purse Committee on Ways and Mean Chairman McCumber of the Senate Finance Committee, and the Massachusetts Senators and Representatives at Washington, it was announced at the University last night.
