Since the previous notice in the CRIMSON, estimates of the cost have changed somewhat in detail; but while the Globe Theatre has unexpectedly gone down $25 per night, the other expenses will exceed the limit then stated. Below are the items:-

Theatre, five nights $750

Music 120

Printing 170

Police, chairs for chorus, and sundries 30

Total $1170

Of this we have already paid $150; there is a balance on hand of $132.05. To cover the bill which will be in before Jan. 1, $450 more is required. This leaves no margin; with smaller receipts we must beg for delay or borrow. There are only ten days in which to get it, before the whole college-the committee with the rest-will have scattered.

No one who saw the great audience Sunday night can doubt longer-if he has doubted, what good-practical common-sense good-these meetings may do. They are not a piece of Quixotry.

The papers are praising the energy and the enthusiasm of Harvard students. We, as a body, and through us the college, get the full credit. And yet when the committee on funds tries to raise money in Boston, as it has been forced to, we are asked, "But what are you gentlemen in Cambridge doing to support this movement?" and now, after more than a week, we should have to answer, "The students of Harvard College have given $871" Moreover, $60 of this has been in sums larger than $5. Outside of seven persons, the college at large has contributed $27.

It does not seem that we are unreasonable in making one more appeal to the generosity and to the patriotism as well, of all who call themselves Harvard students. No man but can give something, and no one but himself need know whether it be much or little. The box at the Co-operative is always ready. The meeting will succeed, have succeeded already; the only question is, shall the credit be due to us who will receive it, or shall we let others step forward and save us.

THE COMMITTEE.
