A total of $70,030.54 was earned by students through the Employment Office during the year 1917-18, according to the report of the Secretary for Student Employment: This amount is $2,521.80 short of the total earned in 1916-17; but considering the fact that last year was interrupted by R. O. T. C. work and a war regime, the caparison may be called favorable. A large part of the above sum, $26,145, was earned by undergraduates who worked in shipyards during the summer.
