Students Join In Discontent About Plaque

University-wide support has gathered behind the Student council in its opposition to the favoritism for a $700,000 plaque and scholarship war memorial apparent in Friday's Saltonstall Committee report.

Lining up concrete plans for a drive among Harvard Alumni, representatives of the Business School Student Association, the Law School Phillips Brooks Committee, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Advisory Council, and the Divinity School Association met with Council President Edric A Weld, Jr. '46 Monday afternoon to set up a temporary University War Memorial Committee which will take on more formal character next Wednesday afternoon.

Gets Law School Support

Julius a. Leetham 2L, chairman of the Law School group, declared that he backed the Council's proposal for a Memorial Activities Center because of the "cohesive Harvard university spirit" which such an institution would forward. "The law school is made up principally of graduates of colleges other than Harvard," he said. "a memorial Activities Center... Would make every Law School man feel himself a part of the University community...I should think its contribution would be far more fundamental to the real purpose of the University than plaques or any number of scholarships-certainly in view of the present supply of both."

Alumni, the Committee's main current goal calls for delaying final decision by Yesterday a telephone conversation with Salstonstall, who returned Sunday from a European Congressional junket produced assurance that no further formal deliberations would take place before "the first of year."

One of several organizational spokesmen informally attending the Monday meeting, Stanley G. Karson '48, chairman of the University AVC chapter, pledged the aid of his 850-man veterans' contingent to the Committee's campaign.
