Coincident with the Phillips Brooks House Association's annual dinner comes the announcement that the spring drive for old clothing will begin today under the direction of B. L. Kilgour '27. The collectors who will canvass the dormitories have been notified by mail of their selection. The drive will last until Thursday, when a truck will be sent around to collect the clothes.
The articles this year will go to the relief of European students and to local charities, such as the Family Welfare Society of Boston, the Cambridge Welfare Union, the Industrial Aid Society of Boston, and the Salvation Army. The books and magazines will be given, as usual, to the Merchant Marine, except for textbooks, which will be placed in the Phillips Brooks House Textbook Loan Library.
The Phillips Brooks House has urged the cooperation of the University with the collectors. Old clothes or any articles of wearing apparel, books, and magazines will be solicited.
