In a letter to President Milton S. Eisenhower two weeks ago; Postmaster General Arthur H. Somerfield said the request was denied because the Post Office de partment does not issue commem orative stamps to honor universi ties. He said there are too, many col leges and universities to make the granting of these requests practical. The proposal for a commemor ative stamp was • made by Sen. Edward Martin ~(R-Pa.) at the re quest of the Board of Trustees during the last session of Con gress. At the time, the request was referred to the Post Office de partment. A stamp was granted to Colum bia University on the occasion of its bi-centennial earlier this year. However, it was explained., this was done because of the interna tional scope of the theme of the celebration —, "Man's right to *?311111111111111111111M1911111111111HH111111111111111111111H11111111111,11111111111111111 1 111 1 : 1,1;4% - i (,•%, ~ ;.
