Results of Clothing Collection

The clothing collection which was taken this fall by the Social Service Committee is smaller than usual, in spite of the fact that collectors visited practically every college room and that several contributions were received from persons outside the University.

About a ton of magazines and periodicals were collected, most of which came from the Union. These are to be distributed among hospitals, reading rooms and old people's homes in this vicinity. The text books, of which 150 were received, will be placed on the shelves of the Loan Library in Phillips Brooks House. which now contains about 1000 volumes.
