During the past four or five months of the college year, more than 450 men have been engaged in the social service activities of Phillips Brooks House. Of these, 353 men have been working regularly in the service and about 100 have assisted at various times. A wide variety of activities has been undertaken. The Social Service Committee has sent out 17 entertainment troupes, which have performed at various settlement houses in Cambridge and Boston. In addition, 14 men have been sent out at different occasions to speak at Y. M. C. A.'s, social centres, and churches. Under the auspics of the committees. Dr. P. A. Martin of Leland Stanford University gave his illustrated lecture on Brazil at six settlements.

Early in the fall, a collection of old clothing was taken under the supervision of the committee. This clothing has for the most part already been distributed amongst various philanthropic agencies, some of it even finding its way overseas to the war sufferers.

The major activity, however, of the Social Service Committee has been the enlistment and direction of the work of volunteers in Cambridge and Boston. These volunteers have been recruited mainly from the ranks of the undergraduates, although a few men in the Law and Graduate Schools are engaged in work demanding more maturity and experience. The following is a tabulation of the number of men engaged in the various forms of work: Leaders of Boys' Clubs,  195 Teachers,  117 Juvenile Court,  7 Associated Charities,  5 Bible Study,  0 Miscellaneous,  15 Paid Workers,  9   --- Total,  353

This total represents the actual number of men who are now at work. Over one hundred more men have been enlisted since the beginning of the year, who, for various reasons, have been forced to discontinue the work. This does not represent a total loss, however, because many of these men visited their clubs for a month or more and so have received some idea of what social service is.

An interesting feature of the work of the volunteers is the large number of men who are engaged in social work here in Cambridge through such agencies as the Cambridge Y. M. C. A., Prospect Union, Cambridge Social Union, Cambridge Neighborhood House, East End Christian Union, and the Riverside Neighborhood House. These are at present over one hundred men so engaged in Cambridge. In this way, Harvard men are doing a real service to the community in which they are temporary residents.
