ment of the Hebrew university.
To a representative of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Mr. Morrison
explained that he was prompted to
provide the fund for the establish-
ment of the Ophthalmic Institute

East where the population is the
greatest sufferer from eye diseases,
there are no todstanding institu-
tions where these diseases may be
properly investigated and their
spread prevented. It was his de-
sire to provide a nucleus for the
medical department of the Hebrew
niversity through the establish-
el this institute.

1000 in 1925, the income of which is
applied annually in •contributions
toward the Palestine Foundation
Fund. the Hebrew University and
the Jewish National Fund.

fears of the consequences which
would be likely to ensue from the

had no acknowledgment or answer

"Since then there was an an-
nouncement in the Jewish Tribune

for the purpose of arranging, in
conjunction with you, for bringing
to this country the Oberammergau

the fact of such publication and
asked him whether there was any
foundation for the statement,
which, if true, I deplored. He
promptly replied by cable that
there was no foundation fur it
whatsoever and that he was not in-

arranging fur such a project.
"I sincerely hope that so fur as
you are concerned it is likewise
not true that you have in contem-

I still cherish the idea that even
