The Sailor Mission branch of the Christian Association, in its missionary work among the sailors at T Wharf, Boston, is quietly carrying out a very laudable undertaking. Not only is the idea of the Sailor Mission a good one, but the method of the work is extremely sensible and practical. Its "missionary work" is not an attempt to inflate those among whom they work with a transient religious fervor, but to better them spiritually, morally, mentally and, indirectly as a result, physically. The work is truly "humanitarian and philanthropic." That it is of value the recognition of the Fish Commission attests.
It is such unselfish, self-sacrificing efforts in the aid of the less fortunate part of society by the Sailor Mission, the Student Volunteer Committee, the Prospect Union, and lesser organizations and by individuals in Harvard, that makes the University an important factor in charitable and philanthropic work and the college man a broad minded citizen, bent not only on his own advancement but on the uplifting of society at large.
