A proposal that the Jewish Historical Society of England convene an International Conference of Jewish Historians has been submitted by Dr. Cecil Roth and is to be considered at the next meeting of the Society.

At the last meeting of the Council of the Society, presided over by Lucien Wolf, it was reported that the collection of Anglo-Judaica in the Mocatta Library was now practically complete and it had been decided to build up a systematic collection of works on general Jewish history.

Plans of the new Mocatta Library and Museum, contemplated as part of the University College Centenary Building Scheme, were submitted.

Jewish, Catholic and Protestant congregations have contributed to the fund raised by the Connecticut Federation of Churches for the erection of a new church at Storrs, the Rev. Morris E. Alling announced. The fund is for improving the religious and social facilities for students at the Connecticut Agricultural College.

Harry C. Ney, of Farmington, in contributing $3,000, specified that $1,000 was given on behalf of the Protestants of Farmington, $1,000 on behalf of the Catholics of the town and $1,000 on behalf of the Jews.
