We take great pleasure in calling attention to the work that has been done by the Foxcroft collectors for the Brunswick fund. It is rather singular that practically the only response made to the appeal in last Friday's CRIMSON has come from that portion of the University which is least able, from a financial standpoint, to help the matter along. Aside from the money turned in to us by the Foxcroft Club, we have received less than two dollars. This is decidedly humiliating and would be very discouraging if we felt that the fund had been thoroughly advertised. By this time the matter must be pretty well known and there is no reason, now that the box has been provided in Memorial Hall, why we should not have a generous response from portions of the University better able if not more willing than the Foxcroft Club, to contribute money. A contribution of thirty or forty dollars from an institution of this size is simply ridiculous; if the students are to give anything, they should give freely. Unless we are very much mistaken about the generosity of the students, the box in Memorial Hall will collect a large number of dimes and quarters in the next few days.
