$5,500 IN COLLECTION

UNIT SAILS ON SAT.

The collection for the Harvard Surgical Unit taken up between the halves of the Princeton game last Saturday amounted to a little less than $5,500. According to the preliminary count taken yesterday of the money already turned in, a total of $5,400 had been reached, and there remained a sum of between $50 and $100 to be counted. This sum is nearly $6,000 less than the total of $11,432.39 contributed at the Yale game in the Stadium last year.

The collection taken up for a crowd of over 70,000 people at the Harvard-Yale game in 1914 in the Bowl exceeded the collection last Saturday by less than $2,000, and the sum collected at the Harvard-Princeton game, the big Stadium event of the same year, was by $1,500 than the amount contributed Saturday. A collection amounting to $5,276.80 was made between the halves of the Yale-Princeton game in 1914. In the collection Saturday, excluding the small sum yet to be counted, there was $1,578 in one-dollar bills; $300 in two-dollar bills; $510 in five-dollar bills; $210 in ten-dollars bills; $80 in twenty-dollar bills; gold amounting to $22.50; $677 in fifty-cent pieces; $1,387.76 in twenty-five cent pieces; $403.20 in ten-cent pieces; $173.10 in five-cent pieces; $16.46 in one-cent pieces. Two checks for $15 and $4.26 were contributed, while two pledges of $5 each were received. Mutilated liver and foreign coinage to the amount of $20 was recorded. Only one silver dollar was received.

Unit Balls on Saturday.

The money will be added, to the fund for the support of the Harvard Surgical Unit which are supplied in large part by friends and graduates of the University. The fourth contingent of the Unit, under the direction of Herbert H. White '93, will leave for Europe on Saturday. The number of surgeons, doctors and dentists already supplied by the University for this work is more than 100, and the size of the hospital has increased.
