On Dec. 4-8, 2003, representatives of Harvard University and members of a Russian delegation headed by the Father Superior of the Moscow St. Daniel Monastery met to discuss the future of the bells from the monastery that have hung in the Lowell House bell tower at Harvard University since 1930 when they were sold by the Soviet government. The Russian delegation acknowledged Harvards legal ownership of the bells and expressed its gratitude for the preservation of these bells. The discussions were cordial and constructive.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2003/12/24-bell1-450-2.jpg
